HIV continues to affect over 1.2 million people in the U.S., with roughly 31,800 new infections and 8,000 deaths each year. Women account for 19 percent of new diagnoses, and Black women are hit hardest — making up 50 percent of new diagnoses among women. This resolution supports National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day and calls for sustained investment in prevention, testing, treatment, and research, with a focus on reducing racial and gender disparities. It also encourages youth-friendly, culturally responsive healthcare and access to medications like PrEP, and urges global efforts to address the root causes driving HIV infection among women and girls worldwide.
Congressional Summary
This resolution recognizes domestic and global progress towards ending the HIV epidemic and calls for additional efforts, with a particular focus on reducing HIV-related vulnerabilities of women and girls.
