 124 STAT. 4759 PROCLAMATION 8610—DEC. 1, 2010 commitment to fighting this epidemic and the stigma surrounding it, I encourage all Americans to visit: www.AIDS .gov. Tackling this disease requires a shared response that builds on the suc- cesses achieved to date. Globally, tens of millions of people have bene- fited from HIV prevention, treatment, and care programs supported by the American people. The President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Ma- laria support anti-retroviral treatments for millions around the world. My Administration has also made significant investments and in- creases in our efforts to fight the spread of HIV/AIDS at home and abroad by implementing a comprehensive package of proven preven- tion programs and improving the health of those in developing coun- tries. Additionally, the Global Health Initiative integrates treatment and care with other interventions to provide a holistic approach to improv- ing the health of people living with HIV/AIDS. Along with our global partners, we will continue to focus on saving lives through effective prevention activities, as well as other smart investments to maximize the impact of each dollar spent. World AIDS Day serves as an important reminder that HIV/AIDS has not gone away. More than one million Americans currently live with HIV/AIDS in the United States, and more than 56,000 become infected each year. For too long, this epidemic has loomed over our Nation and our world, taking a devastating toll on some of the most vulnerable among us. On World AIDS Day, we mourn those we have lost and look to the promise of a brighter future and a world without HIV/AIDS. NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Con- stitution and the laws of the United States do hereby proclaim Decem- ber 1, 2010, as World AIDS Day. I urge the Governors of the States and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, officials of the other territories sub- ject to the jurisdiction of the United States, and the American people to join in appropriate activities to remember the men, women, and children who have lost their lives to AIDS and to provide support and comfort to those living with this disease. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirtieth day of November, in the year of our Lord two thousand ten, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-fifth.
