Women are our most courageous and creative champions in the fight against HIV/AIDS. In most countries and communities I have visited around the world, it is women’s voices that are heard above all others; women advocates and activists who are moved to act selflessly and speak publicly, often risking prejudice, abuse or violence, in order to improve the lives of others.

This is the first time the Programme Coordinating Board has met in the Caribbean – and it is highly appropriate that it does so now. While much of the world’s attention has turned to the burgeoning epidemics in India and China, the Caribbean, with an estimated HIV adult prevalence rate of 2.3%, has the second highest prevalence rates of HIV infection behind sub -Saharan Africa, and HIV infections continue to increase. Just two weeks ago, UNAIDS and WHO released the latest figures which indicate that among adults aged 15 to 44, AIDS has become the leading cause of death in the Caribbean. There is also evidence to suggest that these rates of prevalence are worsening in a majority of Caribbean countries.

This World AIDS Day, the news is sobering -- the epidemic continues to spread in every region of the world. The number of people living with HIV globally has reached its highest level with close to 40 million people, up from 36.6 million in 2002. The steepest increases in HIV infections occurred in East Asia, Eastern Europe and Central Asia over the past two years.
