The first case of HIV/AIDS was detected
in Barbados in 1984. At that time, HIV/AIDS was viewed more
as a consequence of risky personal behavior by men who have
sex with men than as a public health issue that affects the
general population. Since then the number of reported HIV
cases has risen continuously particularly among 15-49 year
olds and the most economically active group, 25-49 year
olds. Today, prevalence among adults in Barbados is
conservatively estimated at over 3 percent. But people who
test positive are estimated to represent only one-fifth of
the infected population. |
