Funding
« on: July 13, 2008, 06:45:42 pm »
 Hi, I want to make a formal complaint and hopefully something will be done to save us.
For your information there is still over 16,000 people dying each year in the USA of HIV/AIDS related causes. There also is an alarming number of newly HIV infected individuals each day in this country. It is disturbing to me that this country is cutting funds every year for Medicaid, Ryan White funding, and other sources that help to keep people alive and kicking while still suffering HIV/AIDS illness. Part D has to be reformed to help people get a better chance to get available medicine. ADAP must be kept in force and housing for people with HIV/AIDS must continue.
 All that being said Why is it that we are sending Billions,yes Billions of dollars overseas to fight HIV/AIDS and cutting funds in our on country for our Infected and disabled HIV/AIDS victims. This is a crime against our on Humanity.
 Please reverse this trend and help our own people stay alive and in some cases able to work and return to be competitive economically.

1997 is when I found out, being deathly ill. I had to go to the hospital due to extreme headache and fever. I fell coma like,  two months later weighing 95 pounds and in extreme pain and awoke to knowledge of Pancreatis, Cryptococcal Meningitis, Thrush,Severe Diarea,  Wasting, PCP pneumonia. No eating, only through tpn. Very sick, I was lucky I had good insurance with the company I worked for. I was in the hospital for three months that time.

I have become resistant to many nukes and non nukes, Now on Reyataz, , Combivir. Working well for me not too many side effects.  I have the wasting syndrome, Fatigue  . Hard to deal with but believe it or not I have been through worse. Three Pulmonary Embolism's in my life. 2012 520 t's <20 V load

There is a need for such information as I posted, People and friends of mine are dying. And we need to complain to  Our Senators and Congress at Congress.org

Hi Mewithu

Believe me I do understand the importance about getting this message out there, although I don't live in the states I'm well aware of your's and everyone else's concerns over your governments cutting the funding to Ryan White..but flooding the forums isn't going to help you cause...if you keep just one thread going on this everyone will know where to find it, it's easy to get lost and lose track if there are too many threads on the same subject.

As you can see we have had several threads about this topic already, and those who agree with you and side with you on this issue have responded.

Hugs
