HIV/AIDS

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what projects his Department is undertaking to tackle HIV/AIDS in the Caribbean and Belize; and if he will make a statement.
Answer

Our spending on HIV/AIDS programmes in the Caribbean will be approximately £3 million over the next three years. There are three key elements to our HIV/AIDS programme: tackling stigma and discrimination which experts agree is the key driving force behind the regional epidemic; getting the private sector more engaged with the issues; ensuring that resources available to the region for HIV/AIDs are effectively used.
