Hi Peter, I'm trying to gather data on NIH AIDS research budget since the mid 80s which is precisely what you have in your graph. Would you mind telling me where you got those numbers from? And is it possible for you to you send me the table? Long story made short, data are to be used in a research project trying to explain participation in clinical trials. Thanks a lot. Andres

Oh, sure, waste billions more on harmless viremia when the truth is AIDS is inarguably a disease of popper-snorting, disco dancing urban homosexuals ingesting toxic amounts of AZT, as shown conclusively in 1983 or 4. Ask Chrissie Maggiore if you don't believe me.

Great information for the money is available and now we need new leadership in NIH with Zeal for a cure and Hope and Passion for a Cure. I think it is time for Toney with NIH to stop giving us bologna pertaining to a Cure for AIDS and ask him to become a retiree from NIH. Yes, bring in a new progressive scientist with Zeal, Passion and HOPE for a cure for AIDS. Toney MOVE ON DUDE, let’s have a going away party and pat him on the back for all your good works of the past and bring in someone new into leadership within our NIH Research here in the USA, for a CURE for AIDS. Peace and much love Frederick Wright GNP+USA 813-985-2968 FrederickGNP@aol.com

Great article! There is certainly a lot of hope around Obama's stimulus package and the opportunity to increase AIDS research funding is fantastic. Of course we won't know until we see the results but if anyone can do it, I suspect Obama is the man to make AIDS research a priority.

I wouldn't get too hyped here. I would not believe anything till you have the money in hand from this gang. As we take another giant step on the road to serfdom it should be obvious to any reasonable thinking person that the only way government run health can work is if certain patients are denied treatment. This will most likely effect older citizens over 70. I also expect new expensive treatments for HIV to be denied by FDA. The government must control every facet of the system for it to work. The same morons who did such a great job at the SEC and FEd the past twenty yeas. This is also the only solution left to solve the coming SS catastrophe. People must die sooner to keep expenses in line. So as we all clamor for free health care and the government making health decisions we are in fact signing our early death warrants. The fact that we have aborted millions of potential taxpayers is also pretty hilarious. Its very scary thinking that the same crooks and incompetents like Barney and the Countrywide 6 who looted Fannie and Freddie for political and personal wealth and caused the present financial disaster are going to be in charge of my health care.

Peter, Thanks for this...it provides hope. Any scrap of hope is helpful. Yes, longterm, continual funding increases...hopefully this will continue...? My experiences with NIH were exceptional as well (Senora...bless her heart!). I gained much from my every 2-4 week adventures there from the Midwest. Best, Beth

Hey Dab I can't agree more about the terrific staff at NIH ! I too am in a study at the NIH, I'm an LTNP. I go back there in April for another study visit. It's my 5th year in the study. Hopefully with the new, increased funding they'll be able to expand their research efforts. Thanks Peter for letting us know about the great news ! Cheers, Paul aka OzPaul
