Answer 1

Act Against AIDS (AAA) is a five-year initiative that was launched by the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the White House to refocus attention on the HIV crisis in America. The Campaign used different ways of communication to reach the people who are at risk of acquiring this disease. According to the most recent CDC data, approximately 50,000 Americans become newly infected with HIV each year, and more than 16,000 people with AIDS still die annually.

This campaign started with the aim of reducing new HIV infections, improving health outcomes among people living with HIV, reducing HIV-related disparities and to achieve a more coordinated national response to the HIV epidemic. And it has achieved its goals to a maximum level as

Statistics in the year 2016 reveal that, new HIV diagnosis has decreased by 7 percent from 2010 to 2013 and the death rate has dropped by about 30 percent which is approaching the 2020 target. People who use to inject drugs are virally supressed with the ART treatment they are receiving. To be more precise, ART has reduced HIV transmission by 93%, and transmission people who are virally supressed. Adding to the progress, this campaign has also decreased the disparities in HIV diagnosis for the Black females.

However, efforts are made to End AIDS with the support of public and private agencies so that we could make our world zero tolerant to HIV AIDS.
