A Deadly Cycle

Micah Fink, Gabrielle Weiss and Lisa Biagiotti

Jamaica's hard-to-reach and embattled gay community has been ignored by the government's public health program for the last twenty-five years. Last year a study revealed that nearly one-third of their gay community may be infected with the virus that causes AIDS, but the Island's public health response remains paralyzed by homophobia as the epidemic continues its uncontrolled spread through Jamaican society.

→  INSIDE THE GLASS CLOSET
In Jamaica, strict anti-sodomy laws and often violently homophobic social currents have skewed the national HIV infection rates. While the general population’s infection rate is currently about 1.4%, the infection rate in the gay community is more than 20 times higher -- almost 32%.

This Gateway explores how Jamaica’s cultural, political and religious traditions are making it harder for public health officials to control the spread of the epidemic.

The Gateway was produced by the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting in partnership with WNET's Worldfocus.

Glass Closet is the latest HIV in the Caribbean reporting initiative undertaken by the Pulitzer Center with support from the M-A-C AIDS Fund.
