Commemorating World AIDS Day: A Conversation With Dr. Angeli Achrekar, Acting U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator and Special Representative for Global Health Diplomacy

The United States President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) was launched to address the global HIV/AIDS epidemic, providing funding for HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment, and care. During this conversation, Dr. Achrekar will discuss the goals of PEPFAR, the coexistence of HIV/AIDS with the COVID-19 pandemic, and future directions and challenges.
