Small States Have Greatest AIDS
According to statistics revealed Monday, small countries like Belize, Guatemala and Honduras have the greatest HIV-AIDS presence in Latin America, with one percent of the adult population infected, mainly due to the combination of unprotected sex and drug injections.

A recent study published by the UN HIV-AIDS Program (UNAIDS) shows that the largest HIV infection sector is men having intercourse with other men, and second place is prostitutes.

In Brazil, according to UNAIDS, the epidemic is found in all 26 states and most of the new cases are women, mainly the poorest.

In Chile and Uruguay most of the cases are in the cities, while in the Andean area HIV is caused by unprotected sex and sex between men, who then infect their wives and girlfriends.

On the positive side, UNAIDS revealed that infection from mother to child has been reduced in Colombia.

The access to antiretroviral therapy has been considerably expanded in Latin America with the outstanding program developed by Brazil, which distributes medicines to all patients.

UNAIDS recognized that treatment coverage is also sizeable in Argentina, Chile, Cuba, Mexico, Uruguay and Venezuela.
