SUN St.Kitts & Nevis: "Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean PAHO/WHO representative Dr. Gina Watson, is of the firm belief that homophobia is fuelling the HIV pandemic since individuals with sexual differences operate in covert isolation.
Dr. Watson gave her opinion in an interview for an OECS health magazine publication.
The PAHO representative said there is still some significant amount of discrimination and stigma attached to individuals who are engaged in same sex relationships.
“We continue to see that men who have sex with men, women who have sex with women and transgender people are all too often, even in this new age, are still faced with stigma, discrimination and violence which is a very sad situation,” Dr. Watson said."
