Biden Administration Outlines Measures to End HIV by 2030
Earlier this afternoon, the Biden administration outlined its plan for fighting HIV infection and promoting access to life-saving preventative medications.
In a time when experts warn that social advancements in the fight against HIV are backsliding, the National HIV and AIDS Strategy Implementation Plan (NHAS) seeks to make the United States a place where new HIV infections are prevented, all people are aware of their HIV status, and all people with HIV receive high-quality care and treatment without stigma or discrimination.
The plan, which examines a whole government approach to addressing issues such as access and equity, prioritizes efforts to reduce disparities and improve HIV outcomes among LGBTQ+ people and other marginalized communities.
Specifically, the government targets gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men, particularly Black, Latino, American Indian, and Alaska Native men.This plan also targets Black women, transgender women, and young people between 13 and 24 years old.
