In 2002, Elton John came before the Senate HELP Committee to urge greater American leadership in the fight against AIDS. One year later, PEPFAR was signed into law.

"Less than two months ago, a Republican-led Congress and the President came together to pass a bipartisan budget that reaffirmed the United States’ commitment to ending the AIDS epidemic - a goal first set out in President Trump’s 2019 State of the Union."
