Tell Your Senator to Support Comprehensive HIV/AIDS Funding
Take Action!
Support Comprehensive HIV/AIDS Funding
E-mail Your Senator Today!
Why: More than one million adults, children, and adolescents are living with HIV in the US. Fifty percent of people living with HIV do not have reliable access to care, and 21 percent are unaware of their HIV infection.
Meanwhile, many state and local governments are struggling to maintain their HIV/AIDS programs due to the current economic climate. If the federal government does not provide the requested levels of funding to stabilize prevention, treatment, and research programs, the results would be devastating. The situation is truly dire, as the rate of HIV infections in the United States remains steady at a staggering rate of 56,000 new cases per year.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention needs increased funding to continue its prevention efforts as much as the National Institutes of Health needs continued support for its ground breaking research.
Increased funds are needed to support the Ryan White Program, Housing Opportunities for People with AIDS, HIV testing, and comprehensive sex education along with many other programs working to improve prevention, early detection, and access to care.
Take Action: E-mail your Senator and encourage them to sign on to Senator Hagan and Gillibrand’s letter Supporting Comprehensive HIV/AIDS Funding by contacting Senator Hagan’s staff person, Michelle Adams, by Monday, April 12, 2010. The time to act is NOW!

This is a good post, I stumbled across your story while looking for free lyrics. Thanks for sharing, I’ll be sure to return regularly.
I really like the fresh perspective you did on the issue. Really was not expecting that when I started off studying. Your concepts were easy to understand that I wondered why I never looked at it before. Glad to know that there’s an individual out there that definitely understands what he’s discussing. Great job.
