Treatment of AIDS is an ongoing research but latest strategy that the White House wants to adopt involves domestically preventing the spreading of AIDS. The main aim is to broaden the use of preventative drugs and tests but the campaign also focuses on decreasing the shame involved with the disease.
This strategy will be released under the Obama administration on Tuesday and will focus on preventing from spreading and diminishing the disparities of affected people. This plan will be a base for decision making for most of the agencies and institutions involved with the prevention of AIDS. A statement released by the White House presents a focus not only on the prevention but also in reducing the spreading and most importantly diminishing the discrimination that HIV positive people face.
However a slight controversy has arisen that the funding is not sufficient to administer drug and tests. Earlier this year Obama released a number of recommendations to fight of obesity but there was no funding. The human immunodeficiency virus has affected over 1.1 million people in US and over 50,000 more have been infected in recent years. A recent study states that by treating HIV positive people with drugs will help in keeping them healthier and will also reduce the chances of spreading the virus.
Statistics reveal that only 5% of the affected people transfer the virus but that is still a high number. PEPFAR is a global program by the government of US against AIDS but no such lucid policy or strategy is seen domestically. However this program was also criticized for only focusing on spreading awareness rather than stressing on preventions such as condoms. The new strategy by Obama administration plan focuses on three main aspects of AIDS: 1) reducing the percentage of HIV spreading, 2) providing care and innovative health facilities for infected people and 3) reduce the number of HIV health related discriminations.
