"Moving away from the message to "Abstain, Be faithful, Condomise", modern prevention strategies include drug-doused vaginal rings, male circumcision, and taking antiretroviral therapy (ART) medication, experts said at a HIV Science Conference in Paris. "

Widespread homophobia has intensified the epidemic in Jamaica, where the HIV infection rate is an astounding 32 percent among gay men.

National Caribbean-American #HIV/ #AIDS Awareness Day ( #NCAHAAD) JACQUELINE COLEMAN | JUNE 8, 2016
The legacy of Caribbean-Americans is one of tenacity and drive; it reminds us that in America, with faith and determination, anything is possible. This month, let us honor the resilient heritage and rich history of Caribbean-Americans, and let us reflect upon the diversity of experiences that unites us as a people.” -President Barack Obama
Today is National Caribbean–American HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. It is a day to encourage Caribbean–Americans to get educated, screened for HIV, treated and involved. It’s only through these measures that we will be able to make an impact on this epidemic and end its devastation among people of color. In cities around the United States, Caribbean-American leadership will sponsor diverse activities to create awareness of the state of HIV/AIDS and the health status of Caribbean-Americans within their specific communities. (www.ncahaad.com)
National Caribbean-American HIV/AIDS Awareness Day will be directed by a working group of national organizations in partnership with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The goal of this partnership is to mobilize communities and address specific issues in regards to local epidemics, health disparities and science-based best practices to influence the course of HIV in Caribbean-American communities across our nation.
According to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), outside of sub-Saharan Africa, the Caribbean region has the highest prevalence of HIV in the world. There are currently an estimated 250,000 people living with HIV and in 2009 AIDS was the leading cause of death among 25 to 44 year olds in the Caribbean.

Two men were murdered in Montego Bay, Jamaica: It is believed to be a hate crime, on Tuesday. The two murdered men were 40-year-old Orville Lorne and another man as yet unidentified. They were murdered the morning of Tuesday May 26.
At 5.50am, neighbours saw ‘men armed with guns’ enter the house, fire a number of shots, and left. The bodies of Lorne and the other man were discovered within, as reported in the Jamaica Gleaner.
Assistant commissioner of police Winchroy Budhoo said: ‘Yes, we can confirm that there was a double murder in Providence Heights, but we have only ascertained the identity of one of the victims.’ A woman living in the notoriously dangerous neighbourhood of Pleasance Heights said: ‘We don’t know nothing about it. A just two fish get fry over there,’ she said, referencing the men; a derogatory word for gay men in Jamaica is ‘fish’.
She said the community were unphased by the deaths because the men were gay. The parish of St. James, where Montego Bay is the capital, has had almost 80 murders this year. It is the most dangerous police division on the island of 2.7 million people. Last year 212 people were murdered: a new record.
A statement denouncing the deaths is unlikely if the men were indeed gay.
Prime minister Andrew Holness said he would put the current colonialist bugger laws, which penalise homosexuality with 10 years in prison, to a public referendum. He has not done this so far, having been elected in early March.
Police are also unlikely to step in. Lawyer and activist Maurice Tomlinson writes in 76 crimes: ‘When I visited the Freeport police station to report my own death threats as a result of my LGBTI activism, the recording officer said that he hates gays and they make him sick.’
In 2011, a 16 year old boy Oshane Gordon was murdered with machetes after it was believed he had ‘questionable relations with another man.’ Another 16-year-old boy, Dwayne Jones, was violently murdered in 2013 after dressing up as a woman at a party, again in Montego Bay.
According to a recent survey: three out of four LGBTI Jamaicans want to leave the country, and the violence against gay residents is doing damage to the economy.

Teenaged and unplanned pregnancy is bad enough, but then there is also the problem of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases. Health experts say about 29,000 Jamaicans, including a disproportionate number of young women, are living with HIV.
