Online resources: In: Centro Interamericano de Estudios de Seguridad Social "Jesús Reyes Heroles". México Revista CIESSSummary: In many ways mankind is at a defining moment in its history and this has come about because of a disease condition called HIV/AIDS. The truth is that the total number of persons living with HIV/AIDS now stands at more than an estimated 36.1 million. This reflects an increase of 2.5 million in the year 2000. A similar story holds in the case of the Caribbean where one source states that “more new cases of HIV/AIDS were reported in the Caribbean between 1995 and 1998 than had been reported since the beginning of the epidemic in the early 1980s” (World Bank 2000, vii).
