Supporting World AIDS Day Goals: Funding Treatment, Prevention, and the 2030 Target.
This House Resolution expresses strong support for the goals of World AIDS Day: achieving zero new HIV transmissions, zero discrimination, and zero AIDS-related deaths by 2030. For citizens, this means continued Congressional backing for essential domestic health programs like the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program, which provides medical care and support to uninsured individuals living with HIV. The resolution also promotes public awareness of scientific facts, such as U=U (Undetectable=Untransmittable), to reduce stigma and encourage treatment adherence.
Key points
Supports sustained funding for domestic and global HIV/AIDS treatment, care, prevention services, and research, including the development of a vaccine and cure.
Encourages the widespread sharing of U=U (Undetectable=Untransmittable) information to combat stigma and emphasize that effective treatment prevents transmission.
Calls for expanding access to comprehensive prevention methods, including PrEP (Pre-exposure prophylaxis) and new long-acting options, particularly in disproportionately affected communities.
