"The creation of the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) in 2003 marked a historic moment in the U.S. and global response to the HIV epidemic. PEPFAR was critical to driving forward an emerging global consensus on the ethical imperative to scale up antiretroviral treatment (ART) and to bolstering confidence that mass treatment could be achieved in even the most resource-poor settings. By most accounts, treatment scale-up is seen as one of U.S. global HIV/AIDS efforts’ signature achievements." Jennifer Kates is M.A., M.P.A., Director, HIV Policy at the Kaiser Family Foundation. Phillip Nieburg, M.D., M.P.H., is a pediatrician, also trained in infectious diseases, who has worked in public health since 1977. He currently divides his professional time between Project HOPE, where he is a senior technical adviser on HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis, and CSIS, where he is senior associate with the HIV/AIDS Task Force. J. Stephen Morrison is executive director, HIV/AIDS Task Force and director of the Africa Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
