Our nation can eliminate both HIV and viral hepatitis, but without an infusion of new resources to accelerate our efforts, we will continue to fall short of these ambitious goals.

The programs and funding increases detailed below are pivotal to our nation’s ability to end both these potentially deadly infectious diseases.
