Presidential Message on National HIV Testing Day, 2020
whitehouse.gov ^ | June 27, 2020 | White House

Each year in June, the United States observes National Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Testing Day.  An estimated 1.2 million people in the United States are currently living with HIV.  Sadly, 1 in 7 of these individuals are unaware that they have HIV, which poses serious health risks.  On this day, we reaffirm our Nation’s leading role in advancing prevention, research, treatment, and cures for this virus and pledge to continue working to raise awareness about the importance of testing and early diagnosis in combating HIV.

While infections in the United States have dropped by more than two-thirds since the onset of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the 1980s, nearly 40,000 Americans are still diagnosed with the virus each year.  Of these new infections, roughly 80 percent are transmitted by people who are either undiagnosed or not receiving treatment.  These numbers demonstrate how critically important it is that we continue to use American innovation and ingenuity to develop treatments that mitigate the spread of HIV.  No other country is better prepared to succeed in these efforts or has helped champion significant medical advancements more than the United States.  Availability of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and antiretroviral therapy (ART) are dramatically reducing virus transmission and enabling good health.  People who are properly diagnosed and adhere to their ART have a very high likelihood of remaining virally suppressed for years.  This means that these individuals will have the opportunity to live healthy and fulfilling lives while also reducing the risk of transmission to others.

To better close the gap between testing and treatment, last year my Administration launched “Ending the HIV Epidemic: A Plan for America” through the Department of Health and Human Services.  As part of the second year of this bipartisan, multiyear initiative, my 2021 Budget Request includes $716 million to prevent the spread of HIV infections and to better care for, treat, and protect those people living with this virus.  By actively empowering Americans with the tools they need to combat HIV, this initiative aims to drastically reduce transmissions and build healthier and safer communities throughout our Nation.

On National HIV Testing Day, we acknowledge the incredible strides our Nation has made in combating this terrible epidemic.  Together, through spreading awareness and advancing science, we recommit to using prevention, testing, and treatment tools to end HIV in the United States and around the world.

Oh, the parallels and contrasts. HIV still doesn’t have a vaccine, and isn’t curable. The Wuhan Virus doesn’t have a vaccine, but is self-curing in most cases. Yet, we are having to endure the most totalitarian and extreme measures to quarantine and avoid spreading the Wuhan Virus which HIV doesn’t require in the least.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

State governors have been repeatedly invited to use National Guard or other troops. Trump can’t force them. The Governors and mayors are fiddling while Rome burns to make a point - but their constituents are not impressed with them.

Part of the objective of “burning Rome” was to get a photo Op with troops sent by Trump to some “hot” location. Once there, the troops would be falsely portrayed as jack booted thugs part of Trump’s supposed “Police State”. The Lefties would signal the U.N. whom they’ve already alerted, that “it’s on” and President Trumphas gone rogue, over ruled the law of the land permitting the Governors to make decisions as to whether to use troops and “Halp! Halp! Save us from Orange Man!”
The U.N. is already meeting on this issue so it would be a handy time to up the ante. The U.N., one of whose founding members is China, would be happy to drop everything and “help” free the US from their President. Check what happens in other countries when the U.N. gets involved. Those trying to repel the U.N. infiltration are labeled violent extremists and arrested/killed - so those who try to protect us from the UN influx would be portrayed as a threat to US “safety”.

Ah yes - they have a plan. The U.N. accepts complaints confidentially. I believe the deep staters in the US started that “confidential process” when Trump took office.Look at the messaging - it’s always “Consitituional Crisis” on the menu. That message is not for Americans - it’s a message our traitorous MSM and lefties are sending the U.N. to justify “intercession” in the U.S. That’s why the U.N. is having a debate now, about police brutality in the U.S.

The U.S. is not in need of the U.N. Normal business, like holidays or days of remembrance, are happening as usual in spite of efforts by the left and MSM to portray the US in a state of collapse.
