Cuba reports a virtual nil rate, but I have no idea if that is accurate, and couldn't check the facts even if I wanted to.
But back on the thread, is Jamaica doing something to prevent HIV spread that the DR is not? Or is this just Jamaica being more suave on manipulating results so as to not impact thier tourist industry?
