Background:
Twenty six years into the AIDS epidemic, the United States still has no comprehensive strategic plan to bring down HIV incidence, increase access to HIV care, and reduce racial disparities in the epidemic. The wealthiest nation in the world is failing its own people in responding to the AIDS epidemic at home: the number of annual new HIV infections has not fallen in 15 years and, as of 2002, an estimated half of people living with HIV/AIDS were not in care. African Americans represent 13% of the population but nearly half of all new HIV infections.

The next President of the United States must develop a results-oriented National AIDS Strategy designed to improve the outcomes of our national response to AIDS.
