Tell your U.S. Senator to fully fund programs vital to people living with HIV/AIDS in Fiscal Year 2014!

Members of the Senate Budget Committee plan to vote on the federal spending bill that supports Fiscal Year 2014’s domestic HIV/AIDS programs in early July. As a part of National HIV Testing Day on June 27, TODAY, we need to let U.S. Senators know that in addition to HIV testing, they should fully fund access to HIV prevention, care, treatment and research!

Take Action Now:
On National HIV Testing Day, call your U.S. Senators and ask them to prevent harmful cuts and to fully fund HIV prevention, care, treatment and research programs!

Here’s how to take action:

Urge Congress to fully fund HIV programs now! Look up your Senators here, and dial the U.S. Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121 to be connected to your legislator.

Here’s what to say:

“Hello, My name is ______ from _______, and I am calling on National HIV Testing Day to ask my Senator to fully fund and prevent additional cuts to HIV prevention, care, treatment, and research programs. Early identification through HIV testing, and reliable access to effective HIV care and treatment helps people with HIV live healthy and productive lives and is cost efficient. Investing in HIV prevention today translates into fewer new infections and less spending on care and treatment in the future.

Thank you”
