A
number of issues that affect the transmission of HIV are unique to
the
Caribbean
region
and need to be addressed separately and independently of traditional
HIV/AIDS issues. Issues such as mainstreaming HIV/AIDS, immigration
and migration, and the economic impact of HIV/AIDS in various
countries of the
Caribbean
will be
examined. Multicultural perspectives will be presented as they
relate to masculinity and HIV, the role of women and HIV, and the
intersection of violence and HIV.
This
track addresses the unique issues of the diverse Caribbean
culture, specifically the social, economic, and human service
factors in the Caribbean
region
that affect access to prevention, care, and treatment for people
living with HIV/AIDS.
