The theme for #WorldAIDSDay is "World AIDS Day 35: Remember and Commit." We've made tremendous progress in the HIV/AIDS response, but there is still work to be done to #EndAIDS2030 and work to ensure a sustainable HIV/AIDS response with continued prevention, care and treatment services.

.@POTUS got it right, @PEPFAR is a "profound testament to what we can achieve when we act together when we take on tough challenges."
We cannot risk the gains we've made to date in the HIV/AIDS response. #PEPFAR will continue to work with our partner governments, multilateral organizations, civil society, the community, faith-based organizations, the public and private sector, among others to end HIV/AIDS as a public health threat by 2030.
