Presidential Proclamation on World AIDS Day, 2018

HEALTHCARE

Issued on: November 30, 2018

ALL NEWS

For more than three decades, our Nation and the world have confronted the challenges posed by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Today, thanks to lifesaving medications, an HIV/AIDS diagnosis does not have to be a death sentence. On World AIDS Day, we remember the 35 million lives that have sadly been cut short by this terrible disease, and we renew our pledge to stand with those living with it until it is eliminated from our communities.

Medical advancements and procedures have transformed HIV from a disease that meant nearly certain death into a generally manageable, chronic condition. Antiretroviral drugs and therapies help control the virus so that people with HIV can experience healthy and productive lives with reduced risk of transmitting it to others. With these long sought solutions now at our disposal, we have the ability to help alleviate the pain and needless suffering of our fellow Americans living with HIV, their family and friends, and the millions of others around the world living with this disease.

Our efforts to connect those affected by this disease with high quality healthcare are dramatically improving many lives. The 2017 National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS) progress report indicates a significant increase of Americans living with HIV. These people are now able to suppress the virus with medication. But we cannot rest on this progress. In recent years, opioids and other injected drugs have caused HIV outbreaks in communities rarely affected before the outbreak of the epidemic. We must continue to work to eliminate the stigma that surrounds HIV so that no one is afraid to learn their HIV status, treat their condition if HIV infected, and prevent infection if they are at risk.

My Administration remains steadfastly focused on achieving the NHAS goals for 2020. These goals are within our reach, but achieving them will require continued coordinated work with local and State governments, faith based and charitable organizations, and many others. One such critical component of our domestic public health response is the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program. Working with cities, counties, States, and local community-based programs, this program provides a comprehensive system of HIV care, lifesaving medications, and essential support services to more than half a million low income people in the United States each year.

We also remain committed to collaborating with both national and international stakeholders through the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). For 15 years, PEPFAR has devoted American resources to critical HIV prevention, treatment, and care to some of the world’s most vulnerable populations, helping to save more than 17 million lives. PEPFAR has continued to support a rapid acceleration of HIV prevention by using data to increase program performance, mobilize domestic resources, and support local partners for sustainable implementation. Through this program, we are supporting lifesaving HIV treatment for more than 14 million people and have enabled more than 2 million babies of HIV infected mothers to be born HIV-free.

With American leadership, the HIV/AIDS pandemic has shifted from crisis toward control. Hope and life are prospering where death and despair once prevailed. A generation that could have been lost is instead thriving and building a brighter future. For the first time in modern history, we have the ability to sustainably control an epidemic, despite the absence of a vaccine or cure, and create a future of flourishing, stable communities in the United States and around the globe.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim December 1, 2018, as World AIDS Day. I urge the Governors of the States and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, officials of the other territories subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, and American people to join me in appropriate activities to remember those who have lost their lives to AIDS and to provide support and compassion to those living with HIV.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this

thirtieth day of November, in the year of our Lord two thousand eighteen, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-third.

DONALD J. TRUMP

#GOMOJO is an online tool to help us all stay aligned

One of the President’s top HIV/AIDS policy priorities is the development and implementation of a National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS). There are three primary goals for the NHAS:

A Call For Action

On behalf of the United States Federal Government and as a certified Federal Advocate I am making a call for action to all of the Las Vegas, VegasTech and UNLV community members to join us in becoming a World Record Setter and the first city in the world to become AIDS FREE (San Francisco has recently announced they will be the first). Although this may sound audacious; we have the means to the end, in becoming an AIDS FREE GENDERATION. Ending AIDS means dramatically reducing new sexually transmitted infections, unwanted pregnancies, discrimination, health, wealth and gender inequalities.

We need to renew the perception of the future. We are teaching them how to change minds, change communities and change the world. We are here to change the world. No one will talk about sex but they will do it.

DO YOU WANT AIDS? DO YOU WANT OUR YOUTH TO HAVE AIDS?

WE NEED TO EMPOWER OUR PEOPLE?

Action Needed

ACTIONS NEEDED: Our team spent years in the community to prove science and help create change. focusing on our proposed contributions, addressing needs and understanding what constitutes a “win” for ALL stakeholders (players). GOMOJO has emulated and been driven by global PEPFAR’s foundation for the road maps that comprise this blueprint. Each roadmap—the Roadmap for Saving Lives; the Road Map for Smart Investments; the Road Map for Shared Responsibility; and the Road Map for Driving Results with Science—contains specific goals and comprehensive action and implementation steps on how GoMOJO PEPFAR will support partner countries’/communities efforts to meet these goals.


1. Please help us leverage greatest impact by continuing to invest in implementation science = hundreds of documents stocked and fully loaded content curated from the streets of Downtown Las Vegas to through the United States Federal government and into a globally scale movement for AIDS FREE GEN

2. Please support implementation research with SOLID scientific evidence based strategies.

3. Evaluate the efficacy of optimized combination prevention.

5. Support our strategies developing evidence-based approaches to reaching people before they lose themselves or make bad choices

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)’s new estimates show that there are about 20 million new sexually transmitted infections in the United States each year, costing the American health care system nearly $16 billion in direct medical costs alone. Infiltration to all parts society and all of the United States Public Health Departments are key to our immediate success.

In July 2010, President Obama released the National HIV/AIDS Strategy. The strategy that is simple with inspiring vision: “The United States will become a place where new HIV infections are rare and when they do occur, every person, regardless of age, gender, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity or socio‐economic circumstance, will have unfettered access to high quality, life‐extending care, free from stigma and discrimination.”

The strategy outlined three primary HIV health outcome goals:

1) reducing new HIV infections,

2) increasing access to care and optimizing health outcomes for people living with HIV, and

3) reducing HIV‐related health disparities.


To accomplish these goals, the President declared that we must undertake a more coordinated national response to the HIV epidemic. And that’s what the key Federal agencies involved in the fight against AIDS set out to do: working with state, tribal and local governments, businesses, faith communities, philanthropy, the scientific and medical communities, educational institutions, people living with HIV, and others.

GOMOJO has completed the implementation strategy on behalf of the The United States Presidents strategy listed in several pages amongst 1,000’s of other departments strategies, recommendations and requirements listed in over 58 billion dollars followed.

GOMOJO GOALS

GOMOJO GOAL 1

To empower people to discreetly carry, safely store, easily access and use condom sense with an airtight, waterproof condom carrying device customized in endless beautiful artwork of local artists.
