U.S. 's Strategy to Fight HIV/AIDS
It has been close to thirty years since HIV impacted the United States. In that time, there was never a concise, National HIV/AIDS strategy in addressing HIV. There are currently many governmental organizations that all have some part in trying to end the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the United States. Centers for Disease Control is on the forefront in providing Evidence Based Interventions for HIV Prevention. The National Institute for Health (NIH) and Health and Human Services (HHS) have been on the forefront in doing HIV/AIDS treatment clinical trials, dispersing Ryan White and ADAP funds to individuals states and overall trying to help ease the burden of HIV/AIDS for thousands of people. But there was nothing that ever tied these government agencies and the white house together into a comprehensive strategy in fighting HIV/AIDS. Untill today.
At 1pm today, the WHITEHOUSE will issue statements concerning the release of the HIV/AIDS Strategy. While listening into this livestream, make sure to also join the conversation that will be happening at HIV Prevention Justice's website. This is a big day for HIV/AIDS activists all over the country. Here's hoping we won't be disappointed.
