Johnson. \u201cBut despite the tragic toll of this disease, we are making historic progress to halt this epidemic in its tracks. U.S. initiatives like the President\u2019s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), the Global Fund for AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, and the Ryan White AIDS Program have saved millions of lives around the world and here at home.\u201d\n\u201cWe cannot afford to backslide on our commitments to ending this public health emergency. Despite the tremendous gains we\u2019ve made in prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS, more than 36 million people worldwide are living with the illness. In the United States, more than a million people are living with HIV \u2013 and one out of every seven HIV-positive Americans don\u2019t know that they\u2019ve been infected,\u201d added Johnson. \u201cThe United Nations believes we can achieve an AIDS-free generation by 2030, but that requires action to address the persistent gaps in education and care. On World AIDS Day and every day, I am committed to saving lives and protecting critical public health programs.\u201d\nThe theme for World AIDS Day 2017 is \u201cIncreasing Impact through Transparency, Accountability, and Partnerships.\u201d To find an HIV testing site near you, click here.\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://hankjohnson.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/congressman-johnson-marks-world-aids-day"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7108820136636496, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
