background information on HIV/AIDS in Jamaica: In recent decades, it has been found that Jamaica was overrun with HIV and AIDS cases among their citizens. This created a huge problem for Jamaica because they didn't have as great of access to medicine as other countries facing the same issue. The need for proper medical care, medical attention, trained professionals, and resources are not as large in Jamaica when compared to other places. As data stated from 2018, there was a total of 40,000 people that were living with HIV with a very high prevalence percentage among citizens - 1.9% infected in adults aged 15-49 years old. There has been significant progress among those infected up until 2018 where there has been a 15% decrease in AIDS-related deaths since 2010. Among those infected, it was found that there are more infected men than infected women with HIV (a difference of 8,000) in the year 2019. This rate of infection is incredibly detrimental to the people of Jamaica and the need for greater access to medicine is more important now than ever, especially with COVID-19 being more prevalent as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SRGwikistudent (talk • contribs) 01:44, 24 November 2020 (UTC) https://www.unaids.org/en/regionscountries/countries/jamaica#:~:text=In%20Jamaica%20in%202018%3A,49%20years)%20was%201.9%25. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5636262/ https://www.aidshealth.org/global/jamaica/ https://www.avert.org/professionals/hiv-around-world/latin-america/overview https://news.trust.org/item/20200720061316-jyzhd/
