Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS (PACHA)

The Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS (PACHA) is a group formed by the U.S. President to provide advice and recommendations on issues related to HIV/AIDS. Established in 1995, it includes experts and advocates from various backgrounds who work to influence policies and programs aimed at preventing HIV transmission, improving care for those living with HIV, and addressing the social stigma associated with the virus. PACHA aims to enhance the national response to the epidemic through informed recommendations and community engagement, ensuring that the needs of affected individuals and populations are considered in public health strategies.
