Description:The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) office in Guyana is part of CDC’s Caribbean Regional Office (CRO). The CDC Guyana program was a bilateral program until 2016, when it merged with 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 Guyana and other partners in-country to reach the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) 95-95-95 goals. This includes accelerating HIV epidemic control through support 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 interruption in treatment and retain them on treatment to achieve viral suppression; enhance laboratory capacity and improve viral load testing services; and improve data access and quality, particularly for key populations (KP) to inform program decisions. The U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)/CDC support to Guyana will end by September 2022. Efforts to engage in sustainability planning to support HIV interventions and initiatives working towards epidemic control is ongoing. Some of the efforts in the sustainability plan aim to foster better collaboration between the Ministry of Health (MOH) and Positively United to Support Humanity (PUSH), a faith-based organization, with regards to facilitating the transitioning and access to HIV care at public health facilities in Guyana.
