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.
With women representing the fastest growing demographic of HIV infections worldwide, providers are faced with
unique challenges in care. The latest issue of HIV Specialist takes an
in-depth look at women and HIV.
