  • Title: ADAP, research, and prevention funding, and needle exchange, facing decisions now: your calls important.
    Author: James JS.
    Journal: AIDS Treat News; 1997 Oct 03; (No 280):5. PubMed ID: 11364738.
    Abstract:
    A proposed amendment to an AIDS funding bill would ban Federal funding of all needle exchange programs, and AIDS organizations are urging readers to contact their congressional representatives to overturn the amendment. Several groups have prepared talking points and fact sheets to use when discussing the issue, all of which stress that needle exchange programs do not increase injection drug use and are highly effective at preventing HIV transmission. The amendment is opposed by the American Medical Association, the American Bar Association, and the U.S. Conference of Mayors. Contact information is provided for further information.
