HIV IN THE CARIBEANS


The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria has announced, in common with other NGOs, that they are focussing resources in Haiti on efforts to ensure that people with HIV and AIDS continue to access vital drugs.

Haiti has the highest HIV infection rate outside Southern Africa. 36,000 people currently receive antiretroviral treatment (ART).

The Global Fund has pledged emergency funding of USD 800,000 to guarantee supply of ART for the next 6 months.
