U.S. News North Carolina: Group Lobbies Lawmakers for ADAP FundingMay 26, 2010 The North Carolina AIDS Action Network dispatched members to the Legislative Building on Tuesday to lobby lawmakers for more support for HIV/AIDS efforts. The activists asked legislators to allocate $18 million in the coming year so the state AIDS Drug Assistance Program can clear its waiting list and accept new enrollees. Many of the advocates wore a sticker reading "602" -- the number of low-income patients they say are waiting for ADAP's help to access HIV/AIDS medications.
