National AIDS Committee welcomes decision to remove Professor Bain

The National AIDS Committee has welcomed the decision to remove Professor Brendan Bain as the director of the Caribbean HIV/AIDS Regional Training Network.



The AIDS Committee said it amounted to a conflict of interest for Professor Bain to have got involved in the suit against the Belize Government to keep homosexuality as a criminal offence.



It also said Professor Bain’s involvement threatened to destroy a hard-won partnership forged between the UWI and members of the gay community and the HIV response in Jamaica and the region.
