The National AIDS Secretariat in the Ministry of Health hosted a 2-Day HIV Rapid Tester Refresher Training Course on 16th and 17th June 2026 at the NEMA Conference Room.

The training brought together healthcare workers previously trained in HIV rapid testing to refresh and strengthen their knowledge, skills, and competencies in delivering high-quality HIV Testing Services (HTS).

Throughout the two days, participants engaged in sessions covering HIV testing algorithms, quality assurance and quality control, testing procedures, documentation and reporting, ethics and professionalism, confidentiality, counselling skills, linkage to care, treatment initiation, retention in care, and viral suppression. Interactive case studies, group discussions, and problem-solving exercises were utilized to reinforce learning and promote best practices.

This refresher course forms part of Secretariat's ongoing commitment to maintaining high standards in HIV prevention, testing, care, and treatment, ensuring that healthcare workers remain equipped to provide accurate, confidential, and client-centered services to the public.

๐Ÿง‚๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ณ Caribbean Nutrition Month 2026 โ€“ Salt Reduction Day

Good morning everyone!

Today, we are observing Salt Reduction Day as part of Caribbean Nutrition Month under the theme:

๐ŸŒฟ "Healthy Eating, Active Living: Promoting Caribbean Foods as Medicine."

Did you know that consuming too much salt can increase your risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease?

Today, we encourage everyone to take simple steps to reduce their salt intake by:

โœ… Using fresh herbs, spices, garlic, onion, thyme, ginger and citrus to add flavour

โœ… Choosing fresh foods over highly processed foods

โœ… Reading food labels and selecting lower-sodium options

โœ… Cooking more meals at home

โœ… Tasting your food before adding extra salt

Small changes today can make a big difference for your health tomorrow. ๐Ÿ’š
