UNITED NATIONS, CMC – The United Nations says the Caribbean will be among several countries to benefit from a new framework that seeks to give 15 million people with HIV/AIDS access to anti-retroviral treatment by the year 2015. In launching the new framework, Treatment 2015, on Saturday, the UN said it offers countries and partners “practical and innovative ways to increase the number of people accessing antiretroviral medicines that will enable those living with HIV to live longer and healthier lives, as well as help prevent new infections.” The Caribbean is second to sub-Saharan Africa in the prevalence of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.
