Question
Description acceptable. NGOs working on this problem launched the “U=U” (“U equals U”) campaign that seeks to get an IPR rate of 0.03 by 2030. Zeda Rosenberg founded the non-profit IPM to help alleviate this problem with initiatives such as a dapivirine silicone ring. In 2023, Congress cut funding for a widely-hailed program combating this problem launched by George W. Bush called PEPFAR, whose initiatives included treating 750,000 women with products such as (*) Truvada. In the 2000s, some NGOs working on this problem were slowed by the Denialist policies of Thabo Mbeki in South Africa. For 10 points, name this ongoing problem addressed through programs such as “abstinence, be faithful, use a condom” and antiretroviral drugs. ■END■
