This resolution commemorates World AIDS Day on December 1 and expresses the Senate's support for efforts to combat HIV and AIDS both domestically and globally. The resolution highlights significant progress made over the past two decades, including the treatment of more than 20 million people through the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief and the prevention of 25 million lives lost, while acknowledging that nearly 40 million people currently live with HIV or AIDS worldwide. The resolution calls on the United States and the international community to continue robust funding for HIV prevention, testing, treatment, and research, with a goal of achieving zero new HIV infections, zero discrimination, and zero AIDS-related deaths by 2030. It emphasizes the need to address disparities in access to care, particularly for communities of color, children, and vulnerable populations, and urges continued U.S. leadership and involvement in global HIV response efforts. As a resolution rather than legislation, this measure does not create new programs or allocate funding but instead expresses the Senate's commitment to existing HIV/AIDS initiatives and future action.
