Status and trends: analysis of the Caribbean HIV/AIDS epidemic 1982-2002

ABSTRACT

This publication which describes different epidemiological trends and patterns observed regionally and in each individual country is therefore the fruit of a productive collaboration between CAREC and Caribbean Health professionals working at the national level to develop and strengthen health information systems and disease prevention and control programmes... Since June 2003, much has been undertaken to recharacterise the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the region. This publication which CAREC hopes to see as an annual HIV/AIDS/STI report will be enriched with new data coming from efforts to recharacterise the epidemic
