The Obama administration will redirect $100 million dollars into a new project seeking a cure for HIV.
The Obama administration will redirect $100 million dollars into a new project seeking a cure for HIV, President Obama announced on World AIDS Day. The new project was one of two pledges made by Obama that would increase funding to the battle against AIDS. In addition to the research initiative, the administration will also give up to $5 billion to an international effort to combat AIDS.
In his Monday remarks, Obama explained that the research funds, redirected by the National Institutes of Health, were intended to prompt “a new generation of therapies” for the disease. The goal is to find a way “to put HIV into long-term remission without requiring lifelong therapies — or, better yet, eliminate it completely,” Obama said.
Obama also announced that the George W. Bush-created President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) had exceeded a goal set two years ago of getting treatment to 6 million people by the end of 2013. The president reauthorized and extended that program today as well, and will set a new target some time next year. PEPFAR focuses on getting anti-retroviral drugs to parents in African countries.
The Obama administration has also pledged up to $5 billion to replenish the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria. That pledge, which covers the next three years, is conditional: the U.S. will only release that money if donors across the world raise at least $10 billion for the fund. The U.S. has already marked about $1.65 billion for the fund in its budget. “Don’t leave our money on the table,” Obama said of the additional promise of funds.
Ntuthu- Grateful for HIV?
Positively Beautiful presents a new video with cast member Ntuthu Mxalisa in celebration of World AIDS Day 2013.
In this interview she tells us how she moved past anger into gratitude toward the man who infected her with HIV.

S. Africa says Obama won't visit Mandela in hospital
Our thoughts are with those in South Africa as Nelson Mandela's stay in the hospital continues.
Most of the patients were depressed so I disclosed my status and experience to help support them -Zarni Aung, Myanmar Positive
This man is the equivalent of an American Idol pop star in Burma. He is not an activist; he is a singer. He has no special education in HIV/AIDS awareness. But Zarni Aung is HIV positive in a country where the HI virus breeds shame and silences courage. When Zarni disclosed his status he was well aware of the possible public backlash.
"[Aung] tells the story of an HIV patient whose family refused to attend his funeral, and of the HIV positive eight-year-old boy who went home crying from school after his teacher told him not to play with other children." Zarni Aung now gives talks in schools and to anyone else who will listen as part of the support group Myanmar Positive."
Is this compassion, or courage? For Zarni Aung, it was the realization, "that he was one of the few people he could find the strength to talk."
