Executive Summary: Progress Report

revise its arbitrary guidelines governing HIV-infected health care workers to bring them into
accord with current public health consensus.
Conclusions:
In trying to assess the Administration's efforts to respond to the AIDS epidemic, the
Council, and all Americans, are confronted with a difficult question: How do we judge and
to what do we compare this Administration's efforts? When compared with that of previous
administrations, this Administration has clearly made an unprecedented and laudable
investment of funding, human resources, and genuine personal commitment. We commend
the President's dramatically heightened responsiveness to the urgency of this epidemic.
However, when compared with what truly needs to be done, this Administration's efforts are
still insufficient. We must not become complacent, given the ongoing nature of this
epidemic. The time for increased commitment, along with moral and political courage, is
now.
