- Once again newly diagnosed people with HIV in
have less access to HIV medication than people in the same situation inUtah , orCuba .Brazil - Once again we are facing budget cuts to already strapped organizations who serve people with HIV/AIDS.

We have already contacted the Health and Human Services Appropriations Subcommittee, and the Utah Department of Health is aware that we are taking on this important advocacy work.
We will keep you informed as this work progresses.
