The Trump administration unveiled its 2020 budget proposal which contains a $291,000,000 request to fund the president’s “Ending the HIV Epidemic” plan. - NBCOUT
The budget says that the requested funding is the “first step” toward ending the HIV epidemic in America.
Of the $291 million total requested for the Department of Health and Human Services, $120 million is earmarked for “additional care and treatment for people living with HIV through the Ryan White HIV/AIDS program,” as well as PrEP outreach to patients at community health centers that get Ryan White funding.
“This administration’s AIDS and health policies are at war with each other, internally. What one hand gives, the other takes away.”Not included in the $291 million request is an additional $58 million earmarked for the CDC “to address the infectious disease consequences of the opioid epidemic,” which has driven up HIV and hepatitis C rates in certain areas across the country.
But Staley predicted that proposed cuts to government health care programs will work against the Ending the HIV Epidemic program.
