Federal Government Gives New Mexico $3.3 Million for AIDS CareApril 11, 2003 The Department of Health and Human Services is providing
$3.3 million to help supply medical care, support services and
prescriptions for people with HIV/AIDS. The grant is part of $1
billion in HHS money to be shared among the states and
territories; this includes $289 million based on the number of
people with AIDS in each state; $693 million to buy medications
through state-run AIDS drug assistance programs; and other
targeted funds. New Mexico is getting $1.29 million based on
population, $2 million to buy medications, and $16,786 under a
provision that calculates the number of minority group members
with AIDS, said Rep. Tom Udall (D-N.M.). "Poverty unfortunately
is a common symptom of AIDS, but these grants to states will help
us ensure that people with AIDS can get needed care and
services," said HHS Secretary Tommy Thompson.
