  • Title: Activists at gathering plead with Clinton to take the lead.
    Journal: AIDS Policy Law; 1995 Dec 29; 10(22):1, 10. PubMed ID: 11362952.
    Abstract:
    A speech delivered by President Bill Clinton at the December 6, 1995 White House Conference on HIV/AIDS was met with enthusiasm and optimism by those attending. President Clinton predicted that a cure for AIDS and a vaccine to prevent further infection would be developed. The President focused on his administration's accomplishments and efforts related to the epidemic, including an accelerated drug-approval process. He also condemned homophobia and discrimination against people with HIV. Conference attendees were disappointed, however, that the President did not support government-sponsored needle distribution and exchange programs. Clinton announced three new initiatives: creating a special working group to coordinate AIDS research throughout the Federal government; convening public health experts to develop an action plan that integrates HIV prevention with substance abuse prevention; and launching a new effort by the Justice Department to ensure that health-care facilities provide equal access to people with HIV and AIDS.
