Uniting Republicans and Democrats to Save Lives: Reauthorizing PEPFAR and Fighting HIV

Former Senator Rick Santorum and Senator Ben Cardin are urging Republicans and Democrats to unite in reauthorizing the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), a bipartisan program that has saved 25 million lives and prevented 5.5 million babies from being born HIV-positive. Despite allegations that PEPFAR supports abortion, the program's supporters emphasize that it is about saving lives and has provided stability, economic prosperity, and stronger relations with the United States in African nations. The obstruction of PEPFAR's reauthorization threatens its future role in the global fight against HIV/AIDS.

Funding Cuts Jeopardize Delaware's HIV Prevention Services

Republicans and Democrats are calling on Congress to reauthorize the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), a bipartisan program that has saved 25 million lives and prevented 5.5 million babies from being born HIV-positive. Former Senator Rick Santorum, a key figure in the program's early negotiations, advocates for continuing PEPFAR with the same bipartisan compromise. Senator Ben Cardin emphasizes that PEPFAR remains one of the most effective foreign assistance programs and refutes claims that it supports abortion. The program has trained healthcare workers, supported orphans, and strengthened relations with African nations. As the future of PEPFAR hangs in the balance, it is crucial to recognize its bipartisan origins and the need for continued leadership in the fight against HIV/AIDS.
