- Description
- The U. S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) - the U.S. Government initiative to help save the lives of those impacted by HIV/AIDS around the world - is the largest commitment by any nation in history to combat a single disease internationally. PEPFAR investments also help alleviate suffering from other diseases across the global health spectrum. PEPFAR is driven by a shared responsibility among donor and partner nations and others to make smart investments to save lives. Thanks in large part to U.S. leadership, tremendous progress has been made in the fight against global AIDS. PEPFAR has supported life-saving antiretroviral treatment for more than 6.7 million men, women and children worldwide as of September 30, 2013. PEPFAR supported 17 million people with care and support, including more than 5 m i llion orphans and vulnerable children, in Fiscal Year (FY) 2013. 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. PEPFAR tested 12.8 million pregnant women and for 780,000 of these women who tested positive for HIV, PEPFAR provided antiretroviral medications to prevent mother-to-child transmiss i on (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. By September 30, 2013, PEPFAR had also supported more than 4.2 million voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) procedures in east and southern Africa. Now in its third phase, PEPFAR is continuing to focus on the transition from an emergency response to building sustainable programs. These programs are country-owned and country-driven and address HIV/AIDS with a broader context of health and development. PEPFAR ' s program builds on past strengths and increases efficiencies by scaling up effective interventions and ensuring value.
