Fauci: ‘Full-Court Press’ to End HIV Epidemic in U.S.

NIAID chief outlines plan for treatment as prevention, PrEP in targeted areas

SEATTLE — The much-discussed plan to end the HIV epidemic in the U.S. through targeted treatment and prevention outreach is the first time an accelerated effort has been undertaken by multiple Health and Human Services agencies to tackle this problem, speakers said at a special session here.

In a talk at the opening plenary session of the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections, Anthony Fauci, MD, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), outlined the plan previewed by President Trump in his State of the Union address in February to reduce the number of new HIV infections in the U.S. by 75% in 5 years, and by 90% in 10 years.

“We have PEPFAR and the Global Fund, but we’ve been talking for 10 years about the feasibility of ending the epidemic [in the U.S.]. This is a full-court press,” Fauci told MedPage Today in a pre-conference interview.
