US AIDS Policy - Decisions Made Tomorrow

National AIDS Strategy Public Meeting: blog.AIDS.gov
Tomorrow, Wednesday February 24, big decisions are being made at the National HIV/AIDS Strategy Public Meeting -- creating U.S. AIDS Policy for the years to come.

We hope it will be in the interest of everyone infected and affected by HIV, all those at risk, and everyone experiencing disparities in access to health care and coverage in the U.S. right now. We hope it will represent and stand for people like our friends from across North Carolina, who are working to make sure people who live with HIV are living the best and healthiest lives they can, and that all people who are at risk for HIV get all the honest information they need to stay free of the virus. We hope this meeting will produce policy and work that assists and empowers communities across the state -- rural and urban alike -- folding their citizens into integrative solutions battling the social, political, and economic factors that fuel the epidemic around us.

There's a lot on the table -- but that's good, since there's a lot on the line.

Here's to hoping that our collective hope can shift the balance further in favor of people seeking access to health services, and health coverage which reduces costs, increases health outcomes, and makes more sense for everyone in our nation -- which always fares better financially, socially, and politically, when we're all a part of making good health the norm, as a basic civil and human right.

Let's send all our best wishes -- together, in solidarity, in action, and in voicing our needs, we stand.
