Bill > HRes919

This resolution commemorates World AIDS Day by acknowledging the global HIV/AIDS epidemic and outlining comprehensive support for combating the disease. The resolution encourages worldwide efforts to achieve zero new HIV transmissions, zero discrimination, and zero AIDS-related deaths by 2030, with a focus on supporting prevention, treatment, and research initiatives. It commends various national and international programs like PEPFAR (President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief), the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program, and the Global Fund, while highlighting significant progress such as reducing new HIV transmissions by approximately 40% between 2010 and 2024. The resolution calls for continued funding for HIV prevention and treatment services, supports research for new treatment options and a potential vaccine, and emphasizes the importance of addressing health disparities, particularly among communities of color, men who have sex with men, and transgender individuals. Additionally, it urges scaling up comprehensive prevention services, supporting research, promoting civil society input in HIV policies, and encouraging international collaboration to combat the disease. The resolution recognizes the critical role of antiretroviral therapy, preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP), and the U=U (Undetectable=Untransmittable) movement in managing and preventing HIV transmission.
