Highlights the urgent need to prevent and treat HIV among women and girls. The resolution would recommit federal attention to testing, PrEP, antiretroviral therapy, culturally responsive care, and global efforts to reduce gendered disparities.

Show full summary
  • Women and girls and families: Would spotlight the unequal burden of HIV on women and girls in the United States and globally. African-American women account for about 50 percent of new HIV diagnoses among women in the U.S.
  • Health care providers and pregnant people: Would encourage routine HIV screening for ages 13 through 64 and universal screening of pregnant women and promote access to PrEP, post-exposure prophylaxis, and antiretroviral therapy to prevent mother-to-child transmission.
  • Global and youth-focused efforts: Would urge U.S. investment and diplomatic engagement to cut new infections and address drivers like gender-based violence and limited sexual and reproductive health access. Globally, 44 percent of new HIV infections in 2023 occurred among women and girls.
