A community approach to curb the impact of COVID-19 among people living with HIV in Latin America and the Caribbean

14 April 2020

The Latin American and the Caribbean Movement of Women living with HIV (MLCM+) with support from UNAIDS conducted a virtual training among community health volunteers from 17 countries in the Latin America and the Caribbean region on how to prevent transmission of COVID-19 and how the new pandemic may have an impact on the quality of life of people living with HIV.

A first capacity building session was held on 09 April 2020 with 350 volunteers from 17 countries in the Latin America and the Caribbean region that will provide information on COVID-19 and HIV-related issues to groups of people living with HIV and other key populations. Other training sessions are planned to happen shortly.
