On AIDS Day, the United States announced plans to resume its focus on ending HIV/AIDS by 2030, including new investments and a five-year strategy.
According to local media reports such as Health Day and CNN, part of the plan includes a request for $850 million for an HIV prevention program in the 2023 budget.
It also proposed a new national preventive care program worth $10 billion.
This could provide access to pre-exposure prevention and services for the uninsured and uninsured.
The global goal is to reach the UNAIDS target for reducing new infections and reach the target for all age, gender and population groups.
It also includes equity improvements for teens, young women, and children.
Although currently available drugs are more manageable and have prevented infection, HIV still has no vaccine or cure.
At the end of 2019, more than 1 million people in the United States had HIV.
Because HIV affects a disproportionate number of black and Hispanic Americans, access to treatment varies greatly.
America’s goal is to reduce these inequalities while preventing new HIV infections and improving outcomes for people living with HIV, according to CNN.
