This PANCAP video provides an in-depth illustration of HIV data from 2018 on the Caribbean region and the UNAIDS 90-90-90 Targets.
In the last 30 years, scientific advancements have made it possible for people living with HIV to manage their condition and live longer, healthier lives. Despite this progress, 53% of people living with HIV are not virally suppressed, there were 1.8 million new HIV infections in 2016, and rates of infection are rising among specific demographics.
These statistics indicate that our global goal of meeting the UNAIDS 90-90-90 targets – diagnosing 90 percent of all HIV-positive people, providing antiretroviral therapy (ART) for 90 percent of those diagnosed, and achieving viral suppression for 90 of those treated by the year 2020 – may be slipping out of reach.
