U.S. News Georgia: AIDS Drug Program Funding EnhancedOctober 26, 2011 Two hundred seventy-seven low-income Georgians with HIV/AIDS will gain access to necessary drugs through a government program infused with $3 million in federal dollars to alleviate the program's wait list. The funding is roughly four times more than Georgia received last year, and reflects a growing crisis facing states with wait lists for drug-assistance programs that expand as more Americans lose their jobs and insurance. Georgia's 1,427-person wait list for the AIDS Drug Assistance Program is second in the country only to Florida, which has 3,335, according to the National Alliance of State and Territorial AIDS Directors (The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Williams, 10/25).
