back to top HIV and AIDS in the Americas
The Americas refers to countries in the North American and South American continents. In our analyses of HIV in the Americas, we focus on three main sub-regions: the United States of America, Latin America and the Caribbean. As well as considerable variations between these sub-regions, the HIV epidemics in the United States of America, Latin America and the Caribbean are in themselves incredibly diverse.
Both regional and country-specific information about the key groups affected by HIV, the situation regarding access to HIV prevention and treatment, and the impact of stigma and discrimination is covered in the Latin America and Caribbean pages. As one of the leading examples of a fast and committed response to combating HIV and AIDS, a comprehensive analysis of Brazil is also available.
This page also points to an all-inclusive set of articles about HIV and AIDS in the United States of America (USA). Some of the many 'HIV & AIDS in the United States' topics covered are: the first reported case of HIV in the USA, early United States research into HIV and AIDS, the development and introduction of HIV treatment in the United States, civil society action, geographical variations and the disproportionate impact of HIV among African Americans.
