Dr. David Holtgrave Shines A Light....
by Julie Davids
Wed, 12/05/2007 - 11:05am Even though it was his 20th wedding anniversary, Dr. David Holtgrave, a top HIV policy analyst and researcher, joined us for the Unity March yesterday. He lost his voice, so he presented his speech as a series of phrases on notebook paper, which I got to read out loud -- But his concise words really sum up the implications of the incidence controversy -- here they are! LOST MY VOICE
I NEW INCIDENCE # IS.... AT LEAST 40,001 WHETHER 40,001 OR 60,000... ISSUES ARE THE SAME.... 1. CDC'S 2010 GOALS TOO LOW 2. PREVENTION FUNDS DOWN 19% (ADJUSTED FOR INFLATION) [I'M A NERD] 3. AND UPTAKE OF SCIENCE-BASED.... INTERVENTIONS WAY TOO LOW! WHETHER 40,001 OR 60,000.... NEED AN EVIDENCE-BASED PLAN NEED ADEQUATE RESOURCES NEED ANNUAL ACCOUNTABILITY NEED BOLD NATIONAL LEADERSHIP NEED PJM

Thanks David! It's mutual! |
About the HIV PJAThe HIV Prevention Justice Alliance (HIV PJA) is a network of organizations advocating for effective and just HIV prevention policies for the United States. We grew out of the successful 2007 Prevention Justice Mobilization, which united hundreds of groups across the country at the intersection of HIV/AIDS, human rights, and struggles for social, racial, gender, and economic justice. The HIV PJA is coordinated by Community HIV/AIDS Mobilization Project (CHAMP) in collaboration with AIDS Foundation of Chicago, and SisterLove.
