HIV and AIDS in the Caribbean was the subject of this week’s programme – Periscope. 

On this programme, United Nations Special Envoy on HIV in the Caribbean, Professor Edward Greene talks about, among other things, steps being taken by Caricom to decriminalize buggery and prostitution.

Also joining him was University of Guyana Communications Graduate, Wadecia Donald who discussed her findings about the way in which males and females are projected in Public Service Announcements on HIV and AIDS in Guyana.
