Abstract

The United States is a country that takes HIV and AIDS cases seriously. They has seen
HIV and AIDS as a threat and to overcome this threat, they launched a program called
PEPFAR. PEPFAR is a program that has a goal to overcome the problem of HIV and
AIDS, especially, in developing countries. Of the many continents in the world, the
African region is an area that, it can be said, is highly preferred by PEPFAR to seek
HIV and AIDS prevention in the region. Because, the number of HIV and AIDS cases
in this region is very high. This research aims to describe the threat of HIV and AIDS in
the African region. Using qualitative methods and analysis with the human security
approach, it is known that the efforts of the United States to overcome cases of HIV and
AIDS in the African region through PEPFAR are driven by the United States' concern
for the threat of health security in the African region.
