Cuba keeps low prevalence of HIV infection
The work of this Caribbean nation to contribute to the end of this epidemic is aligned with the 2020 UNAIDS Goals, known as 90-90-90, as its objective is to diagnose that percentage of people living with HIV, guarantee continous antirretroviral therapy for them and achieve viral suppression.
Since 1986, when the first cases were detected in this country, until October, 35,000 people have been diagnosed with this disease, of whom 28,756 are still alive, Jose Juanes Fiol, in charge of monitoring and assessment from MINSAP National STI-HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis Program, told the media.
Every Dec.1, the World AIDS Day is celebrated, an opportunity to raise more awareness about this disease and promote actions in terms of global prevention and treatment.
