Jun 28 2012

In this post in the Department of State's "DipNote" blog, U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator Ambassador Eric Goosby reflects on his speech at the Brookings Institution on Tuesday in anticipation of the AIDS 2012 conference scheduled to take place in Washington, D.C. from July 22-27. Noting he discussed "some of the lessons learned from the first decade of the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) that can inform future efforts on AIDS and global health," he writes, "The last 10 years have taught us what must be done to end this epidemic and achieve an AIDS-free generation, and I have great hope that we will get it done. This is the moment to seize this hope, and together we will turn the tide" (6/26).
