• Description:
  What is already known about this topic?: The U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) began providing HIV antiretroviral therapy (ART) worldwide in 2004. Through viral load suppression, effective ART improves health outcomes and prevents transmission. ; What is added by this report?: By 2022, approximately 20 million persons with HIV infection in 54 countries received PEPFAR-supported ART (62% CDC-supported); this number represents an increase of 300-fold from 66,6550 in 2004. During 2015–2022, viral load suppression rates increased from 80% to 95% among those who received testing. ; What are the implications for public health practice?: To eliminate HIV as a global public health threat, achievements must be sustained and expanded to reach all subpopulations. PEPFAR remains committed to tackling HIV while strengthening public health systems and global health security. ; Suggested citation for this article: Chun HM, Dirlikov E, Cox MH, et al.
