The unfinished agenda. Get tested this week, support safer sex practices with friends, in our communities, and support PLHIVs by advocating for policies and programmes that grounded in evidence. Thanks to those who keep the work going.
Today is International Youth Day! The Healthy Caribbean Youth (HCY) have a message. We join with the #Caribbeanregion and the rest of the World to celebrate today, drawing attention to policies and programmes which can shape the environment for the future.
