Peter I hope young gays realize the importance of this coming election.I am lucky to have health insurance,but still need help with expensive medication.There are a lot of people needing help their complete cost.Some conservative lawmakers don't believe gays don't deserve any help with medication,just like they don't believe poor women should have help with safe contreceptives.As a triple minority,black gay,and h.i.v. pos.I have seen an attack on civil rights lately.Young blacks not registering to vote,young gay men thinking the aids fight is over,believe me children this century will be more about the haves and have nots.I live in a state where hobby lobby won the right not to pay for some forms of birthcontrol,but don't want to raise the minimum wage for a struggling single mother.Gay 101,young men watch And The Band Played On,Milk,The Normal Heart,and The Dallas Buyers Club.The white gay males in the act up movement fought for the life saving drugs a lot of men take for granted,people funding is at stake this November.And the Band Played on especially captures the atmosphere of the country in the early 80's.A lot of young people don't know what G.R.I.D. means.When we don't learn from history we are doomed to repeat it,Thank you.

Hi Peter, I realize today is the day that the report will be given to the CDC. Where can I find a copy of it? What research was included in the report to support the proposed fixes to HIV care in the U.S.? Specifically, does the report include social research that indicates access to food, housing, and employment (or social benefits where there is a lack of employment) as factors in adherence? Thanks! Dan
