The HIV/AIDS epidemic is now in its third decade, and many critical policy challenges continue to face the United States as it seeks to address the epidemic at home and abroad. The Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation and The Ford Foundation are jointly sponsoring AIDS at 20: A National HIV/AIDS Policy Initiative to help inform the U.S. response to HIV/AIDS. The Initiative is intended to provide objective, non-partisan policy information and analysis to policymakers, advocates, researchers, and the media. It was launched on June 5, 2001 - 20 years to the day after the first reported AIDS case - at a National Symposium held in Washington DC. For a description of the initiative, click here.

New analyses and reports are being developed as part of the Initiative. Please continue to visit our website to access these new products and related activities. You can also sign up for email alerts notifying you when new HIV-related publications are released.
