in 2003 by President George W. Bush with strong bipartisan support from the U.S. Congress, the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) is America’s commitment to fighting the global AIDS epidemic. Through shared responsibility and smart investments, PEPFAR is saving lives, building more secure families and helping to stabilize fragile nations. With the generous support of the American people, the U.S. Government has committed approximately $46 billion to bilateral HIV/AIDS programs, the Global Fund to Fight HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, and bilateral TB programs through fiscal year (FY) 2012.
PEPFAR’s success is measured in lives improved and saved.
With continued support from the U.S. Congress, PEPFAR is on track to meet President Obama’s target goal of treating more than 6 million people by the end of 2013.
