14. Mrs. Cayaxon García was born on December 12, 1976. She lived in Retalhuleu, Guatemala. Her schooling ended after she had completed third year of primary education. She was diagnosed with HIV in 2002 in the Retalhuleu Hospital. MSF began to treat her in May 2002 in the Coatepeque National Hospital where she started antiretroviral treatment in November that year. She did not have regular access to CD4 counts and viral load testing, and her medication was not provided on a regular basis. The absence of the drugs resulted in resistance to the antiretroviral treatment, which led to her developing several opportunistic diseases. She suffered from enlarged liver, herpes, severe sciatica, bronchial hyperresponsiveness and pharyngitis. She died on October 9, 2012, from chronic kidney failure.274 15. Her family unit consisted of her partner, Rafael de León (deceased), her daughters Sandra Judith, Guadalupe and Yensi Nohemí, all Pérez Cayaxon; her father Neftalí Cayaxon Pérez and her mother Cruz García Ramos275.

He was tested intermittently for viral load (3 times) and CD4 count (6 times), without being informed of the results.

He suffered from cutaneous cryptococcus, sarcoidosis, eye trauma, papular pruritic eruptions, herpes, second-degree malnutrition, lipomas, diarrhea, dizziness, otitis and cephalea.
