In the United States there are 55,000 new HIV infections each year.
We cannot afford to wait.
Without the increased funds, programs such as the Ryan White Program, Housing Opportunities for People with AIDS, and comprehensive sex education will continue to suffer. In addition, there is much research to be done at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institutes of Health.
Please join AIDS Action and the AIDS Budget and Appropriations Coalition in requesting the provision of necessary funds for these vital HIV/AIDS programs. Additionally this letter requests a removal of the ban on the use of federal dollars for syringe exchange programs. This ban has significantly impacted the ability for states and communities to determine the best prevention methods for their people and it must be removed immediately.
TAKE ACTION NOW!
