This is a House resolution that expresses support for National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, observed each year on March 10. The resolution acknowledges the serious impact of HIV/AIDS on women and girls both in the United States and globally, highlighting that women make up about 22 percent of people living with HIV in America, and globally, women and girls account for 53 percent of all people living with HIV. The resolution particularly emphasizes that women of color, especially African American women, are disproportionately affected, accounting for half of all new HIV diagnoses among women in the U.S.

The resolution calls on Congress and the nation to take several actions: increase investment in HIV prevention, treatment, and research programs; focus on reducing health disparities and improving access to life-saving medications; expand access to preventive medications like pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP); improve youth-friendly and culturally responsive healthcare services; and include comprehensive, medically accurate HIV information in sexual education programs. It also encourages continued U.S. efforts globally to address violence against women and girls, combat discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, and ensure access to full sexual and reproductive health services, all of which are identified as key factors driving HIV infections among women and girls worldwide.
