Why it matters
As a key implementer of the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), ÐÇ¿ÕÓéÀÖ¹ÙÍø plays a unique role in the fight against HIV and TB. ÐÇ¿ÕÓéÀÖ¹ÙÍø brings a combination of scientific and technical expertise and on-the-ground experience.
Today, ÐÇ¿ÕÓéÀÖ¹ÙÍø continues to lead the way in HIV and TB prevention and treatment at home and abroad. ÐÇ¿ÕÓéÀÖ¹ÙÍø uses innovative and data-driven approaches to help eliminate these dual epidemics as global public health threats and, ultimately, save lives.
While the world has made great progress, we urgently need to do more to end HIV.
At ÐÇ¿ÕÓéÀÖ¹ÙÍø, through PEPFAR, we are focused on accelerating HIV treatment and prevention worldwide. By focusing our efforts, we are maximizing the impact of every U.S. dollar spent in the fight against HIV to reach those in greatest need, save the most lives, and help transition countries to full ownership of their HIV response.
We cannot stop now.
Continuing this momentum is critical to achieving PEPFAR's current 5-year strategy to eliminate HIV as a global public health threat by 2030.
