“PEPFAR has been an enormously important project of the U.S. government, “Started under George Bush, it has been the vehicle by which the U.S government has really opened the door to HIV treatment in resource-limited settings.”

Paul Volberding, MD, is the director of the AIDS Research Institute at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), discusses the challenges and approaches to ending the AIDS epidemic.
