President Obama has been in office for 100 days, but has been totally silent on AIDS. AIDS Healthcare Foundation believes that the HIV/AIDS epidemic is an urgent public health issue that must be addressed at the highest levels. The TV ad above contains a brief history of U.S. presidential responses to HIV/AIDS, and challenges President Obama to be “the change we can believe in on AIDS.”
In the 28-year history of AIDS, U.S. presidential action or inaction has meant the difference between life and death for millions of people. Obama’s leadership is desperately needed to change the course of the HIV/AIDS epidemic—a disease that continues to have a devastating effect on people in the U.S. and around the world.
Urge President Obama to be the change we can all believe in on AIDS by sending an e-letter. Send an e-letter. Read More...

According to a study by two Stanford University School of Medicine professors, President George W. Bush’s landmark five year-old global AIDS program, the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), has cut AIDS deaths by more than 10% in 12 African countries; however, the program has not had success preventing new infections, as the prevalence rate in each of these PEPFAR-focused African countries has remained unchanged. AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF), the US’ largest non-profit HIV/AIDS healthcare provider, which currently provides medical care and/or services to more than 100,000 individuals in 21 countries worldwide in the US, Africa, Latin America/Caribbean and Asia, believes this disparity is because of PEPFAR’s focus on ‘abstinence-only’ programs rather than promoting a full spectrum of HIV prevention services, including the widespread distribution of condoms.
