.@POTUS got it right, @PEPFAR is a "profound testament to what we can achieve when we act together when we take on tough challenges." We cannot risk the gains we've made to date in the HIV/AIDS response. #PEPFAR will continue to work with our partner governments, multilateral organizations, civil society, the community, faith-based organizations, the public and private sector, among others to end HIV/AIDS as a public health threat by 2030. #UNGA78 @UN #SDG3
