SENATE RESOLUTION 532—EXPRESSING SUPPORT FOR THE 

XIX INTERNATIONAL AIDS CONFERENCE AND THE SENSE OF 

THE SENATE THAT CONTINUED 

COMMITMENT BY THE UNITED 

STATES TO HIV/AIDS RESEARCH, 

PREVENTION, AND TREATMENT 

PROGRAMS IS CRUCIAL TO PROTECTING GLOBAL HEALTH 

Mr. NELSON of Florida (for himself, 

Mr. RUBIO, Mr. DURBIN, Mr. LEAHY, Ms. 

CANTWELL, Mr. LAUTENBERG, Mr. SESSIONS, Mr. ENZI, Mr. CARDIN, Ms. MIKULSKI, Ms. LANDRIEU, and Mr. KOHL) 

submitted the following resolution; 

which was considered and agreed to: 

S. RES. 532 

Whereas, according to UNAIDS, the Joint 

United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS, 

there are approximately 33,400,000 people living with HIV worldwide, and nearly 30,000,000 

people have died of AIDS since the first cases 

were reported in 1981; 

Whereas, in the United States, more than 

1,000,000 people are living with HIV and approximately 50,000 people become newly infected with the virus each year; 

Whereas, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1 in 5 individuals living with HIV is unaware of the infection, underscoring the need for greater education about HIV/AIDS and access to testing; 

Whereas societal stigma remains a significant challenge to addressing HIV/AIDS; 

Whereas the United States is heavily engaged in both international and domestic efforts to address the HIV/AIDS pandemic, including— 

(1) the United States President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (commonly 

known as ‘‘PEPFAR’’); 

(2) the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria; 

(3) title XXIV of the Public Health Service 

Act (42 U.S.C. 300dd et seq.) (originally enacted as part of the Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency Act of 1990 

(Public Law 101-381; 104 Stat. 576)); 

(4) State AIDS Drug Assistance Programs; 

(5) the Housing Opportunities for Persons 

with AIDS program of the Department of 

Housing and Urban Development; and 

(6) AIDS research at the National Institutes of Health and other agencies; 

Whereas, since 1985, the now biennial International AIDS Conference has brought together leading scientists, public health experts, policymakers, community leaders, and 

individuals living with HIV/AIDS from 

around the world to enhance the global response to HIV/AIDS, evaluate recent scientific developments, share knowledge, and 

facilitate a collective strategy to combat the 

HIV/AIDS pandemic; 

Whereas, in 2008, Congress passed and the 

President signed into law the Tom Lantos 

and Henry J. Hyde United States Global 

Leadership Against HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, 

and Malaria Reauthorization Act of 2008 

(Public Law 110-293; 122 Stat. 2918); 

Whereas taxpayers in the United States 

have paid more than $45,000,000,000 through 

PEPFAR and the Global Fund to Fight 

AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria, which have 

enjoyed broad bipartisan support in Congress; 

Whereas, 25 years after the III International AIDS Conference was held in Washington, D.C., the XIX International AIDS 

Conference (referred to in this preamble as 

‘‘AIDS 2012’’) will take place from July 22, 

2012, through July 27, 2012, at the Walter E. 

Washington Convention Center, in Washington, D.C.; 

Whereas AIDS 2012, organized by the International AIDS Society, is expected to convene more than 20,000 delegates, including 

2,000 journalists, from nearly 200 countries; 

Whereas the theme of AIDS 2012, ‘‘Turning 

the Tide Together’’, embodies the promise 

and urgency of utilizing recent scientific advances in HIV/AIDS treatment and biomedical prevention, continuing research for 

an HIV vaccine and cure, and increasing effective, evidence-based interventions in key 

settings to change the course of the HIV/ 

AIDS crisis; 

Whereas AIDS 2012 seeks to engage governments, nongovernmental organizations, policymakers, the scientific community, the 

private sector, civil society, faith-based organizations, the media, and people living 

with HIV/AIDS to more effectively address 

regional, national, and local responses to 

HIV/AIDS around the world and overcome 

barriers that limit access to preventative 

care, treatment, and other services; and 

Whereas AIDS 2012 is a tremendous opportunity to strengthen the role of the United 

States in global HIV/AIDS initiatives within 

the context of significant global economic 

challenges, reenergize the response to the domestic epidemic, and focus particular attention on the devastating impact of HIV/AIDS 

that continues in the United States: Now, 

therefore, be it 

Resolved, That the Senate— 

(1) supports the XIX International AIDS 

Conference and the goal of renewing awareness of, and commitment to, addressing the 

HIV/AIDS crisis in the United States and 

abroad; 

(2) recognizes that continued HIV/AIDS research, prevention, and treatment programs 

are crucial to improving global health; 

(3) understands that the key to overcoming 

HIV/AIDS includes efforts to formulate 

sound public health policy, protect human 

rights, address the needs of women and girls, 

direct effective programming toward the 

populations at the highest risk of infection, 

ensure accountability, and combat stigma, 

poverty, and other social challenges related 

to HIV/AIDS; 

(4) seeks to work with all stakeholders— 

(A) to prevent the transmission of HIV; 

(B) to increase access to testing, treatment, and care; 

(C) to improve health outcomes for all people living with HIV/AIDS; and 

(D) to foster greater scientific and programmatic collaborations around the world 

to translate scientific advances and apply 

best practices to international efforts to end 

HIV/AIDS; 

(5) commits to supporting a stronger global 

response to HIV/AIDS, protecting the rights 

of people living with HIV/AIDS, and working 

to create an ‘‘AIDS-free generation’’; and 

(6) encourages the ongoing development in 

the public and private sectors of innovative 

therapies and advances in clinical treatment 

for HIV/AIDS, including— 

(A) new and improved biomedical and behavioral prevention strategies; 

(B) safer and more affordable, accessible, 

and effective treatment regimens for infected individuals; and 

(C) research for an HIV vaccine and cure.
