TAKE ACTION: Please Save ADAP!

Washington Needs to Hear from You!

Raise your voice and let the President and Congress know that the AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) needs help immediately.  ADAP is funded by the federal government and states and provides lifesaving medications to people with HIV.

Nationwide, more than 850 people with HIV in 10 states are on waiting lists to access ADAP, meaning they cannot receive  HIV medications. With more people losing their jobs, income and insurance every day, financially broken states cannot fund this lifesaving program alone.  Illinois needs more than $10 million in additional funding to prevent hundreds of people from losing access to medications starting July 1, 2010.  Tell President Obama and Congress to provide $126 million in federal emergency supplemental funding for ADAPs nationwide to end the waiting lists and shore up ADAPs in states like Illinois.

Don't let Congress ignore this issue!
