Description:The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) office in Trinidad and Tobago is part of CDC’s Caribbean Regional Office (CRO). CRO opened in 2002 in Trinidad and Tobago, relocated to Barbados in 2008, then moved to Jamaica in 2018. CDC works to support the Government of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago and other partners in-country to reach the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) 95-95-95 goals and accelerate HIV epidemic control, through support of adoption of World Health Organization (WHO) and globally known best practices. The UNAIDS 95-95-95 targets are, by 2030: 95 percent of all people living with HIV (PLHIV) will know their HIV status; 95 percent of all people with diagnosed HIV will receive sustained antiretroviral therapy (ART); and 95 percent of all people receiving ART will have viral suppression. CDC’s main goals are to: Improve access to quality services for PLHIV; re- engage PLHIV who have experienced an interruption in treatment and retain them on treatment to achieve viral suppression; enhance laboratory capacity and improve viral load (VL) testing services; and improve data access and quality, particularly for key populations (KP) to inform program decisions. Trinidad and Tobago have benefitted from high-level political commitment and policy changes that supported a significant turnaround in treatment results. Leveraging existing political commitment and support, CDC will support fast-tracking and adoption of additional international best practices and policies based on WHO recommendations to continue accelerating progress.
