Over the past 15 years, we’ve made huge progress fighting AIDS globally, but we can’t stop now. Every day, still, the AIDS epidemic claims over 2,000 lives.
Congress must send a clear signal to the world that America intends to continue to lead the charge with our historic one-third commitment to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, one of the most effective and efficient health partnerships on the planet. I have seen firsthand clinics in rural Uganda benefit directly from the Global Fund. It works.
Today, the countries most affected by AIDS are contributing more than ever before. But, the battle is far from over. Viruses like HIV do not respect borders and the U.S. must continue to be a global leader and spearhead the fight.
Sen. Patty Murray can help us win the fight against AIDS by standing up, speaking out and supporting America’s one-third commitment to the Global Fund, which will be multiplied by other donors and save millions of innocent lives.
