Trump’s HIV strategy faces potential minefield

President Donald Trump has vowed to end the nation’s HIV epidemic in a decade — but to do so, he’ll need to win over skeptics in the health community and on Capitol Hill, tamp down concerns from faith leaders and navigate hurdles inside his administration.

The U.S. really could end AIDS — if the Trump administration gets out of the way

After George W. Bush, could Donald Trump be a bigger champion of HIV than Bill Clinton or Barack Obama were? That’s possible. But only if the Trump administration stays out of the way of experts and keeps the ideologies that have marked the past two years from interfering.

Trump’s AIDS turnaround greeted with skepticism by some advocates

President Trump’s State of the Union pledge to end the HIV epidemic within 10 years represents a significant turnaround for his administration, which has pushed to cut funding for key programs and fired all the members of a council advising him on the issue during his first year in office.

Statement on President Trump’s State of the Union Remarks on Ending the U.S. HIV Epidemic by 2030 from the Act Now: End AIDS Coalition

The Act Now: End AIDS Coalition agrees with the President that we now have the tools to end the U.S. epidemic, even short of a cure or a vaccine, and that this will require prioritizing people and communities who are most affected by HIV infection and who experience poorer HIV-related health outcomes. But to date this administration has targeted these same communities in ways that worsen the U.S. epidemic.

But many HIV/AIDS researchers and even some leading advocates have a more measured, and even enthusiastic, reaction to the possibility that Trump wants to join an existing ambitious campaign and position his administration as a champion of a cause that he thus far has not embraced.

The Community Consensus Statement is a joint initiative of AVAC, EATG, MSMGF, GNP+, HIV i-Base, the International HIV/AIDS Alliance, ITPC and NAM/aidsmap
