AIDS Commission Honored for Regional Testing

The Belize National AIDS Commission and Executive Director Enrique Romero were recognized with the Tenth Anniversary Regional Testing Day Innovative Outreach Award for their contribution to the Regional Testing Day on HIV initiative. The award was given in recognition of the innovative approach that the NAC has taken to promote Regional Testing Day in Belize. Thirty-three awards were presented to organizations and individuals from across the Caribbean, who worked tirelessly over the last ten years in support of Regional Testing Day activities. The target for the tenth anniversary is a total of one hundred thousand people in the Caribbean tested over ten years. In 2016, over twenty thousand people were tested in twenty countries.
