REUTERS/Eduardo MunozBOGOTA (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Anti-gay laws and cultural attitudes are preventing the most vulnerable people accessing HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment programmes in parts of the Caribbean, UNAIDS and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria has said.

With adult HIV prevalence at about one percent of the population, the Caribbean has the second highest infection rate of HIV/AIDS in the world after sub-Saharan Africa, according to UNAIDS. An estimated 250,000 people, including children, are infected with the virus in the Caribbean.

Better access to drugs that can both prevent and treat the incurable human immunodeficiency virus that causes AIDS has cut the death toll and led to a sharp decline in new HIV infections in the Caribbean and worldwide since 2001.

MBABANE – NERCHA has affirmed that door-to-door HIV testing is critical to the HIV and AIDS response. NERCHA is an acronym for the National Emergency Response Council on HIV and AIDS.

This is contrary to recent newspaper reports that a door-to-door strategy forHIV testing is 'unworkable'.
NERCHA Head of Information and Communication Mandla Luphondvo said HIV testing and counselling is a critical entry point to prevention, treatment, care and support.

Luphondvo said the door-to-door approach to HIV testing was never an out-of-the-blue strategy. He said the strategy was conceptualised after observing that the uptake of HIV testing and counselling (HTC) was very low.
