President Barack Obama released the first comprehensive national HIV/AIDS strategy for the United States on Tuesday, bringing to fruition a lengthy process that involved input from medical and social science experts, AIDS care and service providers, and people with HIV from across the country.
"This is the first real national HIV/AIDS strategy that the U.S. has ever had," said Judith Auerbach of the San Francisco AIDS Foundation, a founding member of the Coalition for a National AIDS Strategy, which won a commitment for an AIDS plan during Obama's presidential campaign. "This represents the work of thousands of individuals whose leadership and input over the last three years helped it take shape. Now it is up to all of us to ensure its full funding and implementation and hold our government accountable for progress."
