  • Title: AIDS advisors say administration has grown complacent.
    Journal: AIDS Policy Law; 1997 Dec 26; 12(22):3. PubMed ID: 11364898.
    Abstract:
    President Clinton's AIDS advisors charge that the current administration's interest in and support of HIV and AIDS programs is diminishing. While AIDS advisors and advocates within the Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS acknowledge that President Clinton is the first U.S. president to take significant actions to address the epidemic, the nation is still without a consistent strategy for prevention, research, and eradication. Advisors cite lack of funding, outdated restrictions, and a continued refusal on the part of the President to authorize Federal funding of needle exchange programs as evidence that AIDS issues are a low priority for this administration. The absence of an initiative to provide current HIV and AIDS drug therapies to low income people and those without health insurance is also cited as evidence. AIDS advocates express strong reservations over proposals to create a national name-based HIV surveillance system.
