Abstract
Thirty years ago, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported the first cases of AIDS in the United States. Since then, more than half a million Americans have died of AIDS, and 1.1 million people are currently living with HIV in the United States. In an attempt to reinvigorate the domestic response to the HIV epidemic, the Obama administration developed and released the National HIV/AIDS Strategy for the United States (NHAS). The NHAS has 3 focus areas: reducing new infections, improving access to care and health outcomes, and reducing HIV-related disparities. With ambitious five-year targets set for each goal, the NHAS requires significant fiscal investment to achieve its desired impact on the domestic HIV epidemic.
