Pacific

The Pacific covers a very large geographic area of many countries, possessions and territories, containing a fairly low overall population base. According to the latest figures (UNAIDS 2007), the Pacific sub-region is nearing a crisis in regard to HIV. There are now 75,000 people living with HIV, including an estimated 14,000 new infections last year alone. The Pacific region is comprised of island countries and territories that share similar although distinctly different cultural identities. For APCOM, HIV and MSM work in the Pacific is organised under the newly formed Pacific Sexual Diversity Network (PSDN), which is supported largely by UNAIDS Pacific.

The Pacific includes:

  • Cook Island
  • Fiji
  • Kirbati
  • Marshall Islands
  • Micronesia
  • Naru
  • Niue
  • Palau
  • Papua New Guinea
  • Samoa
  • Solomon Islands
  • Tokelau
  • Tonga
  • Tuvalu
  • Vanuatu
