Our new #WorldAIDSDay report shows how world leaders can tackle these inequalities, and calls on them to be courageous to follow what the evidence reveals.
It's time to #Equalize!
Despite this progress, there is much more to do — and CHAI’s focus is on how to fight the inequality that is hindering progress, and reduce mortality from AIDS-related illnesses like meningitis. 6/8

Treatment has become more affordable and widespread. 20 years ago, treating HIV cost over $10k/person per year. @CHAI_health’s work negotiating prices and licenses, working with partners like PEPFAR and the Global Fund, has reduced that to under $50/person per year in 2022. 3/8
I’m proud of the role that Clinton Health Access Initiative (@CHAI_health) has played in the global fight against HIV/AIDS over the last 20 years alongside remarkable partners. 2/8
This World AIDS Day is a time to remember those we’ve lost, reflect on the strides we’ve made since the onset of the epidemic — progress that seemed unimaginable decades ago — and resolve to overcome the challenges that remain. 1/8
Congratulations to @HakeemJeffries and the entire Democratic leadership team! I know you’ll do an outstanding job representing our values and moving America forward.
Thrilled to see Rep @HakeemJeffries take up the mantle to lead Democrats in the House. With @RepKClark and @aguilarpete filling out our leadership team, the future of our party is bright. Congratulations to all!
I’m saddened by the passing of Christine McVie. “Don’t Stop” was my ’92 campaign theme song - it perfectly captured the mood of a nation eager for better days. I’m grateful to Christine & Fleetwood Mac for entrusting us with such a meaningful song. I will miss her.
I’ve tested positive for Covid. I’ve had mild symptoms, but I’m doing fine overall and keeping myself busy at home.
I’m grateful to be vaccinated and boosted, which has kept my case mild, and I urge everyone to do the same, especially as we move into the winter months.
Congratulations Team #USA on a huge win! On to the next round! 🇺🇸
Thanks to you and our @ClintonFdn partners, millions of people will be able to build a brighter future for themselves, their families, communities and the planet. If you're able to give this #GivingTuesday, we’ll match your gift:

To all those celebrating today with great food, family, and fellowship — and to any turkeys out there who got a second chance — Happy Thanksgiving!
Words have consequences. We must all send an unequivocal message that hatred against the LGBTQIA+ community will not be tolerated.
I am heartbroken for all the people who lost their lives and loved ones in the deadly shooting in Colorado Springs, and moved by the stories of bravery of those who stopped the gunman.
Happy Birthday President @JoeBiden! Thank you for your service to the American people. Here’s hoping your day is filled with friends, family, and a scoop or two of ice cream!
For the past 20 years, @SpeakerPelosi’s skilled, principled leadership in the House has been an immeasurable source of strength and progress for our nation. I’m deeply grateful for her remarkable service.
My message in support of the Iranian people.
To all who have worn America’s uniform in wartime or in peace, thank you for your sacrifice and service. Our nation owes you a profound debt of gratitude.
