Health Ministry eyes reduction in new HIV infections as Strategic Plan is launched

The Ministry of Health and Wellness has launched Jamaica’s National strategic plan for HIV (2023-2030), marking a decisive step in bolstering the response to the disease.

The plan outlines steps towards reducing new HIV infections by 40% by 2030.

State Minister for Health, Krystal Lee, underscored that the national strategic plan is a clear roadmap to achieving epidemic control.

Jamaica has made significant gains in its HIV response, including a 35% reduction in new infections since 2010, high levels of HIV status awareness and the elimination of mother-to-child transmission of HIV and Syphilis in 2024.

At the same time, challenges including high rates of sexual activity among adolescents and stigma and discrimination continue to fuel gaps in service.

Ms. Lee emphasised the human impact of sustained public health action.

The launch of the National Strategic Plan for HIV (2023–2030) sets the stage for a powerful start to safer sex week, observed February 9–13, under the theme, “Tek charge: safer sex with endless possibilities!”

The ministry calls on all Jamaicans to “tek charge” to make informed choices, protect themselves and their partners, and contribute to a healthier, more resilient nation.
