PEPFAR is the U.S. government initiative to help save the lives of those living with and affected by HIV/AIDS around the world. This historic commitment is the largest by any nation to combat a single disease internationally, and PEPFAR investments also help alleviate suffering from other diseases across the global health spectrum. PEPFAR is driven by a shared responsibility among donors, host countries, and other partners to make smart investments to save lives and, ultimately, end the AIDS epidemic by 2030.
