PEPFAR

U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief

“The United States of America will remain the global leader in the fight against HIV and

AIDS. We will stand with you every step of this journey until...we achieve, at long last, what

was once hard to imagine -- and that’s an AIDS-free generation.

-

President Barack Obama, December 2, 2013

The U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) represents America’s commitment to

saving lives and the shared responsibility of all global partners toward achieving an AIDS-Free Generation.

■

As of September 30, 2013, PEPFAR is supporting

life-saving antiretroviral

treatment for

6.7 million men, women, and children worldwide.

This far exceeds

President Obama’s 2011 World AIDS Day goal of 6 million people on treatment -- a

four-fold increase

(from 1.7 million in 2008) since the start of this Administration.

■

In Fiscal Year (FY) 2013, PEPFAR supported

HIV testing and counseling for more

than 12.8 million pregnant women

. For 780,000 of these women who tested positive

for HIV, PEPFAR provided antiretroviral medications to prevent mother-to-child

transmission (PMTCT) of the virus. Due to PEPFAR support,

95 percent of these

babies were born HIV-free

(including 240,000 that would otherwise have been infected).

 Over

the

past

two

years,

over 1.5 million HIV-positive pregnant

women received these interventions to prevent mother-to-child transmission

and improve maternal health, meeting the President’s 2011 World AIDS Day goal.

■

As of September 30, 2013, PEPFAR will have supported

more than 4.2 million voluntary

medical male circumcision (VMMC) procedures

in east and southern Africa; by the end of

2013, PEPFAR will have reached the President’s 2011 World AIDS Day VMMC goal of

4.7 million

.

■

PEPFAR supported

17 million people with care and support

, including

more than 5 million orphans and vulnerable children

, in FY 2013.

■

PEPFAR supported

HIV testing and counseling for more than 57.7 million

people

in FY 2013, providing a critical entry point to prevention, treatment, and care.

■

The

U.S.

is

the

first

and

largest

donor

to

the

Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and

Malaria.

As

a

result

of

the

significant

investment

by

the

U.S.

in

the

Global

Fund,

of

the

estimated

9.7

million

individuals in low- and middle-income countries who currently receive treatment,

nearly

9.1 million

receive support

through PEPFAR bilateral programs, the Global Fund, or both.
