‘KEEP THE PROMISE’ ON AIDS

Spearheaded by AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF), the Keep the Promise coalition includes a broad group of like-minded supporters from across the U.S. and around the world.  Thousands of organizations and individuals from around the world have signed on in support of the the Keep the Promise Declaration (PDF), demanding eleven calls to action, including:

• United States must continue to fulfill its commitment to the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)
• Pharmaceutical companies must lower AIDS drug prices globally so that more people can access life-saving treatment.
• In the U.S., no patient should be denied access to treatment from any ADAP because of deficient funding. Drug prices should be lowered to meet the total ADAP need with available funding, and growth in ADAP per patient drug costs must not exceed inflation.
• Nations with large-scale economies and the G20 must pay their fair share in fully financing the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
• Universal Access must be achieved through cost-effective measures and fair-share contributions to the global fight against AIDS by leveraging treatment as   prevention in concert with a scale-up of rapid HIV testing and access to care.
