Take Jamaica, for example: the constitution states - not in this wording, but that is the idea - that all people have equal rights. However, there are laws dating back to colonial times that declare consensual sexual relations between men (“sodomy”) illegal. If a case reaches the highest court of appeal - the Caribbean Court of Justice - it is impossible for the judges there to declare that the British law is now unconstitutional. This is despite the fact that Jamaica's constitution has been reformed and modernized since independence.
 

British overseas territories such as Bermuda or the Turks and Caicos Islands, on the other hand, are not subject to the jurisdiction of the Caribbean Court of Justice but of the Privy Court, which is based in London. Cases of the highest instance therefore go there. And the Privy Court regularly confirms the colonial laws - and thus the discrimination against LGBTIQ people. This naturally makes the fight against HIV more difficult. After all, it is difficult to live a liberated sexuality if you are stigmatized by so-called “sodomy” laws.
 

Anti-queer laws from the European colonial era continue to exist in the former colonies and in European overseas territories. It's easy to call Europe “progressive” in its treatment of minorities and blame “third world” countries for their treatment of sexual and gender minorities when you forget who originally fueled this discrimination.
