Combating HIV/AIDS in Guyana
It is well documented that HIV/AIDS has infiltrated the Guyanese population in a very serious and threatening way. Recognizing the enormous threat that these diseases pose to the population of our birthplace and, with the goal of combating the virus, GMR expanded its mission to provide funding to support the Stemming the Tide program. Stemming the Tide is a project that is run by St. Joseph Mercy Hospital that provides free testing and treatment for HIV/AIDS related illnesses. Stemming the Tide’s focus is on preventing the transmission of the virus particularly in pregnant women.
