Sec Clinton

Secretary Hillary Clinton sent a video message to the XVIII International AIDS Conference in Vienna, Austria. The biennial conference unites the efforts of scientists, policy makers, advocates, persons living with HIV, and others striving to end the global AIDS epidemic. In her remarks, Secretary Clinton commended the efforts undertaken by the international community against HIV/AIDS as “one of the greatest public health responses in history” and reiterated U.S. commitment to continue to work with partner countries in “leading the fight against HIV/AIDS as we seek a sustainable, effective, and broad response to the global burden of disease.” The United States remains the largest contributor to global AIDS programs.
