Did you know that the United States requires other countries to develop an AIDS strategy in order to receive funding but the U.S. has no plan of its own?
Join Gay Men's Health Crisis and our national advocacy partners in calling on each candidate for President of the United States to create a National AIDS Strategy to end the AIDS epidemic. Our next President must demonstrate leadership in the fight against AIDS. Make your vote count.
The U.S. must develop what it asks of other nations it supports in combating AIDS: a national strategy to achieve improved and more equitable results.
To be effective, a national AIDS strategy should…
- Improve prevention and treatment outcomes through reliance on evidence-based programming
- Set ambitious and credible prevention and treatment targets and require annual reporting on progress towards goals
- Identify clear priorities for action across federal agencies and assign responsibilities and timelines for follow-through
- Include, as a primary focus, the prevention and treatment needs of African Americans, other communities of color, gay men of all races, and other groups at elevated risk
- Address social factors that increase vulnerability to infection
- Promote a strengthened HIV prevention and treatment research effort
- Involve many sectors in developing the national strategy: government, business, community, civil rights organizations, faith based groups, researchers, and people living with HIV/AIDS
