On World AIDS Day, our communities gather to remember the many lives lost to the AIDS epidemic, and we stand shoulder to shoulder with those who live today with HIV. We grieve for those lost during the decades when our government willfully ignored the epidemic rather than confronting it seriously. And we recommit ourselves to further preventing the spread of HIV, treating everyone who is infected, working to find a cure and ending the domestic HIV epidemic by 2025.
Elizabeth WarrenSince the 1980s, 75 million people have been diagnosed with HIV around the world, and approximately 32 million have died. And while we have made incredible strides toward ending the epidemic, HIV and AIDS remain a public health crisis.
