“…The magnitude of the HIV/AIDS problem in Jamaica is more striking when it is noted that 50% of the total cases recorded in the 20 years from 1982 to 2001 were recorded in only the 4 years of 1997 through 2000 (6). However, the reported cases give an incomplete picture since the underreporting of HIV/AIDS cases in the country is common, especially in the private health care sector (6)(7)(8).…”

Simulations for Honduras, the epicenter of the epidemic in Central America, show that AIDS is not likely to threaten economic growth through either labor or capital accumulation channels; impacts are estimated between 0.007 and 0.27 percent points of GDP growth annually for the period 2001-10. Likewise, increasing spending on prevention, public treatment subsidies and treatment access will not jeopardize economic growth prospects. Critical factors that slash economic growth in Africa (such as human capital reductions and shifts in relative skills) are not strong in Honduras.
