U.S. News Massachusetts: AIDS Funding Cuts ExpectedNovember 12, 2008 At a recent meeting, leading AIDS service organizations in Massachusetts were told to expect further cuts in HIV prevention, treatment, and education. Last month, Gov. Deval Patrick eliminated $1.5 million in HIV/AIDS services as part of a $1 billion cut in the state budget. "It is not because this governor wants to make cuts. It is because tax revenues are down," Blue Cross Blue Shield Foundation of Massachusetts President Jarrett T. Barrios, a former state senator, told the annual meeting of the AIDS Action Committee of Massachusetts, New England's largest private provider of HIV services. Barrios said reductions may be forthcoming in federal Ryan White HIV/AIDS funds to state and local health agencies as well.
