Ending HIV as Global Threat by 2030
Donation protected
With 2.1 million people newly HIV-infected globally (220,000 children, 30% in youth ages 15-24) , 1.1M AIDS deaths, and 36.7M people (3.2M children) living with HIV (PLWHIV) at the beginning of 2016, I can tell you as a US HIV Specialist for 30 years and in Zimbabwe for 6 years that STIGMA & DISCRIMINATION against orphans/vulnerable children, adolescent girls & young 
women, gay/bi-sexual and transgender communities (GBT), the disabled, sex workers, and, in many cultures, ANYONE infected with HIV, are major barriers to ending HIV as a public health threat in the U.S. and globally.
As one of 27,500 HIV international providers in 150 countries represented by the non-profit 501c3 tax-exempt International Association of Providers of AIDS Care (IAPAC), I am working with IAPAC ( http://www.iapac.org ) and UNAIDS to end HIV as a public health threat by 2030 in the US (http://www.iapac.org/uploads/WHreport-110415.pdf ) and globally ( http://www.iapac.org/cities/assets/FTCI-Executive-Summary-111915.pdf ).
For the first time, HIV funding declined 13% between 2014 and 2015, when US$26.2 billion is required for the HIV response in 2020 to end HIV by 2030.
Please, I need your help. IAPAC, who have been "battling complacency and advancing commitment" for PLWHIV for 25 years, is aggressively advocating a sustained U.S. domestic and global AIDS response under a Trump Administration. Urgently, we need $30,000 (300 tax-deductible donations of $100) to develop a "U.S. Presidential Transition Plan on HIV/AIDS" for sustaining the U.S. AIDS response, and positions critical to maintaining American leadership on this global health issue that enjoys bipartisan support. We must ensure that, despite ideological pressures to shift programmatic focus away from marginalized and stigmatized populations, respecting the dignity and human rights of every individual remains a U.S. priority and a U.S. policy.
As a gay man and HIV Specialist, I have passionately spent my life advocating for and fighting on behalf of marginalized and vulnerable people with HIV in the U.S. and globally. Please assist me and IAPAC in continuing to fight the fight. You will make the difference, as we begin this new yearand new Administration, advocating for a sustained U.S. funding commitment to our domestic and global AIDS response. Together, we can end stigma & discrimination and HIV as a global health threat by 2030.
