#HIV was once a death sentence, but new figures released y'day show that U.S. leadership thru #PEPFAR has saved 17+ million lives worldwide. Our founder @bfrist worked with President @GeorgeWBush 15 years ago to make this live-saving program a reality. #WorldAIDSDay #WAD2018

[Bill Frist, M.D. @bfrist]

In honor of #WorldAIDSDay, sharing just a bit of the Congressional backstory that most have never heard regarding #PEPFAR. This 2003 law turned the tide on the global HIV/AIDS pandemic and changed the course of history.

Not only does @Labcorp’s CEO lead 1 of the largest life sciences businesses in the world, he also chairs an influential nonprofit working to bring #cleanwater to those in need. Loved learning about @AdamHSchechter's spirit of service on @asopodcast: https://t.co/gtWmbgzzu3

Strongly agree with Dr. Tony Fauci. We led the world in taking on the global HIV/AIDS crisis with #PEPFAR. We must continue to lead on global health today.

After reading a powerful but concerning article about unchecked spread of #Covid19 in Africa, I share in my Letter to the Editor in @WSJ why it’s time we recognize global health security is national security. Congress must act: https://t.co/7bAbMtzXyN

Great @WSJ letter from @Bfrist "Congress must reaffirm America’s global leadership by investing in $20 billion for global health services, vaccines and other priorities, including $4 billion for @GlobalFund Covid-19 Response Mechanism" https://t.co/zFZ012jKCW @theglobalfight

My latest op-ed out now in @Forbes https://t.co/69FDjExj6n

We will do a great disservice if we handicap #vaccine uptake and our nation’s recovery by politicizing the vehicles that will ultimately save lives and usher in a return to normalcy.

“I think of myself as a prejudiced person because I think of myself as a normal human being.” We learned so much this week on @ASOpodcast about #racism & #implicitbias from @Harvard's Dr. David Williams. Listen here: https://t.co/P6GOuP8jcC One of my favorite episodes.
