Nov. 15: Do the Waive -- Free Webinar on Cash for State HIV Care!November 12, 2010 This article was provided by the HIV Prevention Justice Alliance. Right now, states could ask for a waiver so people with HIV could get Medicaid BEFORE they become disabled. State contributions to that care would get Federal matching dollars to stretch further -- AND people could get off ADAP waiting lists ... Treatment access is an HIV prevention justice issue -- giving people the chance to lower their viral load is not only something that could improve their health; it also could decrease risk of HIV transmission. Join our friends at Dose of Change for a training call on this issue. All the info you need is below: Just a friendly reminder to join us on Monday, November 15 (11/15, get it?) at 1:00 p.m. EST for a free webinar training session on how your state can take advantage of the 1115 waiver.
