• Description:
  The U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, or PEPFAR, was announced in 2003. One year later, PEPFAR began efforts to expand treatment for people with HIV. Effective HIV treatment helps those with HIV live longer, healthier lives. It can prevent transmission of the virus to sexual partners and helps reduce the risk of transmission from mothers to children. This, in turn, reduces new infections overall. As a result, increasing access to effective HIV treatment is critical to efforts to eliminate HIV as a global public health threat.
