Bill > SRes522

This resolution commemorates World AIDS Day by addressing the global HIV and AIDS epidemic, highlighting key statistics, achievements, and ongoing challenges. The resolution supports the goals of achieving zero new HIV transmissions, zero discrimination, and zero AIDS-related deaths, while recognizing significant progress made through programs like the Ryan White CARE Act, the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. It commends various U.S. governmental agencies and international organizations for their efforts in combating HIV and AIDS, and calls for continued funding, research, and prevention services. The resolution emphasizes the disproportionate impact of HIV on communities of color, men who have sex with men, and Southern states in the United States, and urges rapid action to expand testing, treatment, and prevention programs. It also supports U.S. leadership in domestic and global HIV response, encourages input from civil society, and calls on the international community to sustain and scale up support for HIV/AIDS efforts, with the ultimate goal of ending the HIV epidemic by 2030.
