EMERGENCY! EMERGENCY! EMERGENCY!

In America, currently there are

1781

people on the ADAP WAITING LIST

and are not receiving the life threatening medicines due to HIV/AIDS!

     President Barack Obama signed the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Act of 2009 on Friday, October 30, 2009. Since the signing of one of the US Government biggest medical federal government programs, 1001 Americans are on this list as of April 30, 2010, waiting on life threatening medicine. The Ryan White Act has a budget of $2,087,495,132. ADAP (AIDS Drug Assistance Plan) is only one program under the Ryan White Act that needs immediate attention.

     Genesis Network and Counseling Center, Inc, an Atlanta based 501c(3) non-profit organization has declared an official “War on AIDS”. Raymond Davis, Founder, Chairman/CEO of GNCC, Inc., and President/CEO of the American AIDS Association and Health Institute, Inc., (AAAHI), stated, “the US Congress and the White House Administration’s Office of National AIDS Policy, should make this an emergency situation”. Davis, a Pioneer in the fight against HIV/AIDS, other Health Issue’s, and Human Rights, also explained that “the US Congress and the White House Administration are playing Russian Roulette with American lives.”  

     Davis, 45 years old, is a 27 year HIV/AIDS Survivor, who is nationally and internationally known for his outspoken commitment as an HIV/AIDS Advocate, Activist, Author, Politician, and Minister. Davis states, “I’m blessed and fortunate to have Medicare and private insurance.” But continues by saying, I only take two AIDS medicines, but without private insurance and $70 deductibles, he discloses that the pharmaceutical costs for these two Protease Inhibitor’s (PI’s) total $1,873.98 per month or $22,487.63 per year.” Some Americans take more HIV/AIDS medication with very high pharmaceutical prices and tops with at least one medicine that is over $3,000 per month. Most people living with AIDS, has some other health disparities that come with being a long time AIDS Survivor, which incurs more medication and more costs that are not covered by the Ryan White Act. Twenty-nine years later, Stigma and homophobia still plagues this disease. We must unite for the fight on the “War on AIDS.” Please visit our website at www.Isupportthewaronaids.org. When going into battle there are two things that are needed in order to win a war, troops and finance. Become a soldier and enlist today. We know we’ve been in a recession for the last three years, but whether its $5 dollars or $500 dollars, please send a picture so you can stand and be counted as a soldier in the “War on AIDS”. We can’t sit around waiting for the government to assist us with this life threatening disease. There is no HIV vaccine or cure for AIDS; it still is a terminal illness. There is already one soldier that has died in combat in SC and in 2006, there were over 3,000 Americans on the ADAP list. Four soldiers died in SC. The estimate in helping get those 1001 Americans off the list is between $25 and $50 Million dollars. (This will be enough for one year) In the 2008 Presidential race, both President Obama and Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, raised $50,000,000 dollars up to $100,000,000 dollars from month to month during a long political race.

       Almost every American has been affected or infected by HIV/AIDS. Davis has sent letters asking President Barack Obama to declare “War on AIDS”, on June 1, 2010 along with members of the US Senate H.E.L.P. Committee, (Health, Education, Labor and Pension), Madam Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, Secretary of HHS, Kathleen Sebelius, and every member of Congress. One way or another, we will declare “War on AIDS” in the US on June 1, 2010 in every state and our US Territories.
