AVAC, amfAR Release Action Agenda to End HIV/AIDS Epidemic

From Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation

July 23, 2012

AVAC, previously known as the AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition, and amfAR, the Foundation for AIDS Research, "have published 'An Action Agenda to End AIDS' [.pdf] -- a combination of short- and long-term goals ... to bring an end to the HIV/AIDS epidemic," VOA News reports, noting, "The report is being released ahead of the XIX International AIDS Conference in Washington." The news service highlights several scientific advancements made in the last several years and writes that, according to the agenda, "making the hard choices," as well as "'mobilizing sufficient, sustainable resources' to ensure that critical interventions are scaled-up and not cut back," are essential steps to ending the epidemic" (De Capua, 7/20). The report "was informed by an analysis of modeling research and consultations with top HIV prevention experts," a joint press release notes (7/23).
