HIV/AIDS Strategy
National HIV/AIDS Strategy Released by White House
Every nine-and-a-half minutes, another person in the United States becomes infected with HIV; this means there are 56,300 new infections each year. More than 14,000 people with AIDS still die each year in the United States. To address the HIV epidemic, on July 13th, 2010 the White House released its National HIV/AIDS Strategy.
The National HIV/AIDS Strategy presents three primary goals to be accomplished through a more coordinated national response to the HIV epidemic: 1) reducing the number of people who become infected with HIV; 2) increasing access to care and improving health outcomes for people living with HIV; and, 3) reducing HIV-related health disparities.

President Obama committed to developing a National HIV/AIDS Strategywith three primary goals:
- Reducing the number of people who become infected with HIV;
- Increasing access to care and optimizing health outcomes for people living with HIV; and,
- Reducing HIV-related health disparities.
To accomplish these goals, we must achieve a more coordinated national response to the HIV epidemic.
The job of implementing the National HIV/AIDS Strategy, however, does not fall to the Federal Government alone, nor should it. Success will require the commitment of all parts of society, including State, tribal and local governments, businesses, faith communities, philanthropy, the scientific and medical communities, educational institutions, people living with HIV, and others.
