Priorities for Action

This is a defining moment for U.S. AIDS policy, as Congress and the Bush administration prepare for the reauthorization of the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), which expires in September 2008. The reauthorization process offers U.S. policymakers the chance to reflect on the evolution of the epidemic, to analyze the data collected, and to apply the lessons learned during PEPFAR's first phase, in order to strengthen U.S. AIDS strategy going forward.
