HIV Counselling And Testing Sites

Know your status – get tested.

Trinidad and Tobago has many accomplishments in our response to the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Currently, the Ministry of Health is executing the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS “95-95-95” targets which state by 2025, or 95% of people who are living with HIV to know their HIV status, 95% of people who know that they are living with HIV to be on lifesaving antiretroviral treatment, and 95% of people who are on treatment to be virally suppressed. We promote the Undetectable= Untransmittable (U=U) messaging that indicates someone with an undetectable HIV viral load on HIV treatment (ART) cannot transmit HIV. In keeping with this momentum, the Ministry of Health would like to remind citizens to refrain from engaging in risky sexual behaviour that would put one at risk of becoming HIV infected. Sexual and reproductive health involves making safe choices to protect oneself and your partner every day. Taking an HIV test is one of the safe choices a person can make. Despite this reality, there are a number of nationals who have never taken the HIV test to date. The sooner a person knows his/her status, the sooner he can access treatment (if found to be positive) thus increasing the chance of preventing other health conditions from developing.

So remember:

  • Regardless of whom a person is or what he does, all are welcome to access the HIV test free from discrimination. Confidential service is offered, as well as pre and post counselling (before and after the test) to reduce risk if a person is negative, and offer support and referral to treatment if a person is positive.
  • The Ministry of Health offers free same-day HIV testing at fifty-two (52) sites collectively nationwide five days a week, twelve months a year.
  • Condoms are available at all testing sites.
  • With advances in HIV rapid testing technology, it takes just one drop of blood to determine a person’s HIV status and results are given in as little as 20 minutes.
  • Upon receiving the results of the test, whether negative or positive, standard follow up measures including counselling is offered at all testing sites.

  Abstract

The applicant organization, the Medical Research Foundation of Trinidad and Tobago (MRFTT), has been conducting retroviral research for the past 17 years and is currently one of the HVTN sites conducting a Phase II HIV vaccine trial (HIVNET 026). The overall aim of this project is to conduct HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment intervention studies to fill the gaps in available knowledge and to provide scientific and public health solutions to the HIV epidemic in Trinidad and Tobago, a middle-income developing country. Our hypothesis is that the Trinidad & Tobago share attributes with many countries in the Caribbean region and world that make such knowledge applicable to these countries. The major aim of this RO3 submission is to develop a research program responsive to the research needs of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Trinidad and Tobago and to the CIPRA process. During the execution period there will be a comprehensive assessment of the site development needs, site infrastructure and critical clinical and laboratory capacity to perform relevant HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment intervention research, including clinical trials. The final CIPRA cooperative agreement application will be developed and submitted during this period. The MRF1T has throughout its years of research established collaborations locally, regionally and internationally and during the RO3 period these collaborations will be further strengthened. The Caribbean Epidemiology Center (CAREC) has been a research and implementation partner since 1984, and laboratory support for the majority of the studies conducted here has resided at CAREC. CAREC also provides the opportunity to disseminate the findings of these intervention studies to the wider Caribbean. The MRF1T has conducted all studies with the cooperation and collaboration of the Ministry of Health (MOH), and through the CIPRA application, the MRFTT will further enhance its relationship with the MOH in meeting the challenges of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Trinidad and Tobago and in the development of appropriate prevention and treatment intervention public health programs. The MRF1T will also draw on its ties to local NGO's and its international collaborations with the Institute of Human Virology of the University of Maryland, Baltimore and Duke University, North Carolina in the development and conduct of the planned research.
