This is outrageous. Uniform measures should be adopted in ALL states that use best practices from other states that are succeeding in their bid to raise HIV awareness and treat people living with AIDS. There is a complete lack of common sense in making this choice.
I live in PA and the reason I still work in NY is because there is little or no funding for prevention efforts (and services)in PA as it is. It is sad that the CDC has to be so cutthroat with funding. Northeast PA is experiencing population growth, and it is mainly Latino. It is known that HIV is higher in communities of color. SO I guess the CDC will wake up and do something about it after more people die. Or will they? Not everyone lives in Philly or Pittsburgh. Sad and stupid.
I feel as dough the cities are getting punished, and I really don't see how is it that makes any cense to, how is that going to make any defernces or help the issue.

It is telling of our governments commitment to addressing AIDS by making something something like surveillance funding a competitive bid. I often question the wisdom of the CDC, the logic here escapes me.
