At the >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 1992 Democratic National Convention, when my husband accepted the >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> nomination for president, we marked a break with the past by having two >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> HIV-positive speakers -- the first time that ever happened at a national >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> convention. As First Lady, I brought together world leaders to strategize >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> and coordinate efforts to take on HIV and AIDS around the world. In the >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Senate, I put forward legislation to expand global AIDS research and >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> assistance and to increase prevention and education. And as Secretary of >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> State, I launched a campaign to usher in an AIDS-free >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> generation >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> <http://www.state.gov/secretary/20092013clinton/rm/2011/11/176810.htm> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> through prevention and treatment, targeting the populations at greatest >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> risk of contracting HIV. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The AIDS crisis looks very different today. There are >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> more options for treatment and prevention than ever before. More people >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> with HIV are leading full and happy lives. But HIV and AIDS are still with >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> us. They continue to disproportionately impact communities of color, >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> transgender people, young people and gay and bisexual men. There are still >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 1.2 million people living with HIV in the United States today, with 40,000 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> people newly diagnosed each year. In Sub-Saharan Africa, more than 60 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> percent of people with HIV are women and girls. Even though the tools exist >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> to end this epidemic once and for all, there are still far too many people >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> dying today. That is absolutely inexcusable. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I believe there’s even more we can – and must – do >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> together. For starters, let’s continue to increase HIV and AIDS research >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> and invest in the promising innovations that research is producing. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Medications like PrEP are proving effective in preventing HIV infection; we >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> should expand access to that drug for everyone, including at-risk >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> populations. We should call on Republican governors to put people’s health >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> and well-being ahead of politics and extend Medicaid, which would provide >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> healthcare to those with HIV and AIDS. We should call on states to reform >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> outdated and stigmatizing HIV criminalization laws. We should increase >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> funding for the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). And we >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> should cap out-of-pocket expenses and drug costs, and hold companies like >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Turing and Valeant accountable when they attempt to gouge patients by >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> jacking up the price of lifesaving medications. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> We’re still surrounded by memories of loved ones lost and >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> lives cut short. But we’re also surrounded by survivors who are fighting >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> harder than ever. We owe it to them and to future generations to continue >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> that fight together. For the first time, an AIDS-free generation is in >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> sight. As president, I promise you that I will not let up until we reach >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> that goal. We will not leave anyone behind. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> On Sat, Mar 12, 2016 at 3:01 PM, Megan Rooney < >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> [email protected]> wrote: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> HIV and AIDS is way more elegant, too. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I think the chances of her OK-ing this statement with >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> that top are slim.
