The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Caribbean Regional Office (CRO) works with Ministries of Health (MOHs) and partners across the region to implement the World Health Organization (WHO) Treat All guidelines with the goal of reaching HIV epidemic control. The main objectives are to: improve access to quality services for key populations; re-engage people living with HIV (PLHIV) lost to follow-up; 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 to inform program decisions. Currently, CRO focuses on four countries with high HIV burdens (Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica, and Trinidad and Tobago). The other countries are supported through regional activities. Interventions through the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) in the Caribbean are mainly focused on Jamaica where the HIV burden is greatest. Beginning in 2017, CDC’s regional office began the transition of its office from Barbados to Jamaica.
