The HIV prevalence of men who have sex with men (MSM) remains significantly high in Jamaica, resulting in the Ministry of Health taking steps to reduce the effects.
According to data released in Together We Will End AIDS yesterday, the HIV prevalence among MSM is approximately 32 per cent.
The report was released by UNAIDS ahead of the 19th International AIDS Conference in Washington, DC, next week.
The report also suggests that the prevalence rate for female sex workers is almost five per cent.
Dr Nicola Skyers, acting director of the National HIV/STI programme at the Ministry of Health, said the two are among the groups considered most at risk in the population.
