ACTION ALERT

Call the White House and Your Senators

Support HIV, STD Prevention funding:
Ensure $400 million funding remains in Economic Recovery Bill

Why: The Senate will begin debate next week on the Economic Recovery bill, which was passed by the House of Representatives this week. The Senate bill includes $400 million in funding for HIV and STD screening and prevention. (The House version is $335 million and includes TB and Viral Hepatitis as well. We will call for inclusion of those diseases in conference). We must make certain the full funding remains in the bill.
