Description:The CDC Caribbean Region Office (CRO) works with Ministries of Health (MOHs) and partners across the region to strengthen HIV programs. It focuses on six countries with the highest HIV burden (Bahamas, Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica, Suriname, and Trinidad and Tobago) and works with six other countries through regional activities.
CDC CRO’s strategic focus is assisting countries to implement the World Health Organization (WHO) “treat all” guidelines and achieve epidemic control in the region. This is being done by working with MOHs to: improve access to quality services for key populations; re- engage people living with HIV (PLHIV) lost to follow up and retain them on treatment; improve viral load testing services; and collect and use quality data to inform program decisions.
Caribbean Region Includes:
Antigua and Barbuda, Bahamas*, Barbados*, Grenada, Guyana*, Jamaica*, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname*, and Trinidad and Tobago* (*Priority countries)
All CDC global HIV and TB activities are implemented by the Division of Global HIV & TB, CDC Center for Global Health, as part of the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR).
