U.S. News D.C. Commits to Its HIV/AIDS ProgramJune 7, 2011 During an online chat with Post readers Monday, Mayor Vincent C. Gray reiterated his commitment to combating HIV/AIDS. Asked specifically about how his budget plans would affect sexual education for Washington's young people, Gray said, "HIV/AIDS and STDs in general are a high priority for this administration. Even in difficult budget times, we have not reduced the budget in these areas. We have also appointed a new HIV/AIDS Commission and have established a treatment-on-demand program for those who are HIV-positive or who have full-blown AIDS. We are one of very few cities in the nation offering such a program." Washington Post 06.07.2011  This article was provided by U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
