Over the years, countless lives, both foreign and domestic, have been lost as a result of this illness. AIDS is a global epidemic which requires a global response in order to ensure better lives and access to care and treatment.\u00a0 In memory of the lives lost and in honor of those living with HIV and AIDS, we must reflect upon and acknowledge the ongoing work that is required to combat this epidemic across the globe.\nAs a member of Congress and registered nurse committed to the advancement of modern medicine and better access to healthcare despite origin or income level, I believe this can be achieved through the following:\n Increased access to the full range of healthcare services;\n\tRobust support for domestic and global health programs \u2013 including those that focus on HIV/AIDS, family planning, and reproductive healthcare;\n\tGreater investment in sex education in the U.S. and around the world;\n\tProtection of the Affordable Care Act; and\n\tAdvancing the health and human rights of all people.\n The world we want is possible and I will continue to make these issues a priority during my time in Congress.
