AIDSWatch 2003 Brings Advocates to Washington, D.C.May 15, 2003 This article is part of TheBody.com's archive. Because it contains information that may no longer be accurate, this article should only be considered a historical document. Thousands of HIV/AIDS advocates from around the United
States will converge on Washington May 18-20 to take part in
AIDSWatch 2003. The advocates will meet with members of
Congress to ask for the highest possible funding increases
for HIV/AIDS treatment and research. Against the backdrop of
the undetermined costs of the war in Iraq and growing state
budget deficits, funding for critical HIV/AIDS programs has
lost the urgency it once had among lawmakers, advocates say.
"We must fight against reduced access to lifesaving services
and prevention efforts on both the domestic and international
fronts," said Ernest Hopkins, director of federal affairs for
the San Francisco AIDS Foundation. For more information,
