ABSTRACT
This document summarizes the key recommendations emerging from the Consensus Meeting. Section II describes what is known about the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the Caribbean, how this evidence has generally been interpreted, and the implications of this evidence for the HIV response in the region. Section III summarizes the key issues affecting access to HIV health services by key populations, including shared issues affecting all of the groups and issues affecting specific groups. Section IV presents the priority actions proposed by the Consensus Meeting participants. Recommendations include cross-cutting actions that will contribute to the fostering of nonjudgmental, inclusive, and responsive health services for all, especially key populations, and recommendations to address specific issues and challenges affecting men who have sex with men, transgender persons, sex workers, drug users, and prison inmates, with special attention to young persons and migrants in these groups. Finally, section V presents recommendations regarding the roles and responsibilities of key entities in the region for implementation of the recommended actions.
