This year’s World AIDS Day event, hosted by the Medical Research Foundation in collaboration with representatives from the National AIDS Coordinating Committee (NACC), the Ministry of Health’s HIV and AIDS Coordinating Unit (HACU), the Trinidad and Tobago Transgender Coalition (3TC), COMTALK International, Family Planning Association of Trinidad and Tobago, CAISO, and a wide network of civil society partners and volunteers, celebrated the nation’s continued progress toward ending AIDS as a public health threat.

“Our success is rooted in solidarity, compassion, and the unwavering belief that we are stronger together,” said Dr Lyons, Public Health Specialist. “Reaching and sustaining 95% viral suppression is not just a statistic—it is a shared achievement that reflects the resilience of our communities and the power of partnership.”

Dr Ishaad John, Director of the HACU, extended congratulations on the successful execution of the event and wished the Medical Research Foundation continued success in this critical national effort.
