Uruguay's epidemic
HIV Incidence among women: 36%.
12,356 people diagnosed HIV positive and 3,722 with AIDS.
The availability of HIV diagnostic tests and treatment varies from city to city and there are even variations within a single city.
A nutritional complement is supplied to people living with HIV under the aegis of the INDA programme. In Montevideo distribution is monthly and in the country areas it is done every two months in coordination with local municipal authorities and treatment centers. To access such support a person must be registered with the target population group, receiving care from Public Health services and fill out a form.
One of the objectives of the STD and AIDS Programme is monitoring and evaluation. There is no prevention programme specifically targeting young people.
