Welcome to the NAC
The National AIDS Commission of Belize aims to provide updated and relevant information on HIV for Persons Living with HIV, at-risk groups, social partners, health professionals, the public and other stakeholder in the response to HIV. The information here has been made available for all visitors to access the facts they seek so that together we can reach our national goals of ending the epidemic by 2030. National statistics indicate that the Belize District continues to have the highest reported numbers of HIV incidence followed by Cayo more recently. The data for 2015 reveals a 6.7% rate of new HIV infections which is a slight decrease from previous years. As shown in previous reports, the data further revealed that the ratio of new infection for male to female was 0.6:1 with an overall positivity rate of 0.8 to 0.9% over the past four years. Emerging data along with other recent studies indicates that Belize may have a concentrated epidemic among specific sub-populations. The Belize’s HIV Strategic Plan addresses these developments in the response by calling for more research, increased targeted and behavior change communication education and coordination of programs and services as important initiatives towards reducing the spread and impact of HIV and AIDS through sustainable systems of greater access to HIV prevention, treatment, care and support. We hope that you will find the information on this site useful and invite you to forward any questions or comments to communications@nacbelize.org.
