St.

Vincent & The Grenadines We’re committed to ending the HIV epidemic in Latin America and the Caribbean. Numerous factors are driving the epidemic in this region. The social stigma of HIV-positive status leads many to decline treatment or travel great distances to be treated outside their community.

Elsewhere, poor treatment options for incarcerated populations (a group that faces systemic barriers to receiving quality HIV care) leads to public health concerns as individuals complete their rehabilitation programs and re-enter society. We support organizations working to help individuals learn their HIV status and get the care they need.

We also fund local groups looking to meet the unique needs of the region, including: Increasing awareness and understanding of HIV incidence and treatment methods Facilitating medicine provision and local provider expertise Supporting linkage to care programs Identifying and fostering prevention programs for at-risk individuals, including via pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) In Latin America and the Caribbean, many people are living with undiagnosed hepatitis C, driven in part by a lack of disease awareness and diagnosis options have contributed to the persistence of this gap.

We are working to improve the overall continuum of care for liver diseases by funding organizations that: Ensure providers have the training and expertise they need to deliver proper care Improve infrastructure and screening ability of regions where care is dependent on viral load Reduce undiagnosed totals Increase awareness of risk factors 1.
