The most striking characteristic of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) is its diverse nature. Epidemiological data indicate that the levels of infection and patterns of spread are more varied in the LAC region than in any other geographical region of the world (PAHO/WHO/UNAIDS 2001). As a result, the overall regional rate of infection tends to mask the complexity and diversity of the multiple HIV/AIDS epidemics in the region.
