Is a private non-governmental organization that was established in 1988 by the Minister of Health to co-ordinate the national multi-sectoral response to the AIDS epidemic in Jamaica. The National AIDS Committee began with 18 members and now has over 100 member organizations.

The National AIDS Committee has four main functions.
• To advise the Minister of Health on policy issues relevant to HIV / AIDS / STIs.
• To involve all sectors of society in efforts to prevent and control HIV / AIDS / STIs.
• To act as a central body where ideas, experiences and questions about HIV/ AIDS/STIs in Jamaica can be shared, discussed and addressed.
• To provide a sustainable means of supporting the initiatives of the NAC and member organizations by eliciting funds from fundraising activities, public and private sector participation.

The NAC has strong links with the National HIV/STI Control Programme (NHCP), representatives from both public and private sector organizations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and community based organizations (CBOs).

The NAC is further facilitated by an Executive Committee, Sub-committees, 13 Parish AIDS Committees and two AIDS Advisory Committees. The Executive Committee consists of a Chairman, a Managing Director, a Co-ordinator, the Chairpersons of Sub-committees and Parish AIDS and Advisory Committees.
