In the 34 years since the first observance of World AIDS Day, transformational progress has been made in the global fight against HIV/AIDS, yet challenges remain. Today, leaders at the National Institutes of Health reflect on the 40 million lives lost to the disease and renew their commitment to the research necessary to end the global pandemic. 

In a statement today from NIAID Director Anthony S. Fauci, M.D., and NIH Office of AIDS Research Director Maureen M. Goodenow, Ph.D., the NIH leaders recap the encouraging HIV/AIDS scientific advances of the last year while acknowledging the difficulties that remain, including getting people with HIV access to treatment and medical care and the underutilization of pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP, to prevent HIV acquisition.
