Washington, DC: February 2, 2010--
The country’s largest independent HIV provider organization, the
American Academy of HIV Medicine (AAHIVM), praised President Obama’s proposed
budget increases for HIV care, which stand in contrast to budget cuts and flat
funding for most domestic programs.
However, AAHIVM warned that the numbers fall short to adequately care
for the country’s HIV patient population and properly support HIV providers.
