Following the death of his partner from AIDS in 1994, Reyna began battling the AIDS epidemic. He started a pilot AIDS community center in Caracas, which led to a network of centers in Venezuela. These centers offer AIDS education, prevention, and care. Acción Solidaria has trained over 300 educators.

In 2006, Reyna was a finalist for the Red Ribbon Award at the International AIDS Conference in Toronto.

Reyna's approach emphasizes the importance of education in AIDS care and prevention.
