Referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and in addition to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
This resolution expresses support for National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, observed annually on March 10, and calls attention to the disproportionate impact of HIV on women and girls both in the United States and globally. The measure highlights that women account for approximately 22 percent of the 1.2 million people living with HIV in the U.S., with Black and Latina women being particularly affected, and that globally, women and girls represent 53 percent of all people living with HIV. The resolution does not provide funding or establish new programs; instead, it commits Congress to support increased investment in HIV prevention, treatment, and research; encourages youth-friendly healthcare services and access to preventive medications like pre-exposure prophylaxis; and calls for efforts to address sexual violence, discrimination, and gaps in sexual and reproductive health education. The resolution aims to raise awareness, spark conversation, and recommit bipartisan efforts to ending the HIV epidemic domestically and worldwide.
