On AIDS Day, the United States announced plans to resume 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 $10 billion national preventive care program.
This could provide access to pre-exposure prevention services for the uninsured and uninsured.
The global goal is to reach the UNAIDS target for reducing new infections and to reach the target for all age groups, sexes and populations.
It also includes equity improvements for teenagers, young women, and children.
Although currently available medications 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.
