At present, the HIV/AIDS prevalence rate in the Caribbean nation is estimated at 2%, and it is higher among women compared to men.
Although those figures have decreased in the last few years, Haiti is still one of the hardest-hit countries by the disease in the region.
The HIV prevalence among young people aged 15-24 years is higher in girls (1.1%) than among boys (0.9%).
About 165 institutions nationwide are working on care, awareness campaigns and training, Kesner François, technical coordinator of the National AIDS Control Program (PNLS), said.
