In releasing the new report card, the Working Group noted encouraging momentum to strengthen HIV prevention, including new commitments to make prevention a greater priority by UNAIDS; the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria; and PEPFAR. In addition, the Working Group noted that as research finds that treating people with HIV reduces transmission to others, there are new opportunities for treatment programs to also have prevention impact.
The Global HIV Prevention Working Group (www.globalhivprevention.org) is an international panel of more than 50 leading public health experts, clinicians, biomedical and behavioral researchers, advocates, and people affected by HIV/AIDS, convened by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation.
