AIDS PROGRAM IN JEOPARDY

By: Import User
Updated: January 7, 2009
Unless lawmakers approve money for a drug assistance program, the Alabama Department of Public Health will remove 200 aids patients. State health officials say they need an additional one-million dollars to maintain current enrollment of about 12 hundred people in the program that provides lifesaving drugs to those who are HIV-positive. Without funding, the department will remove 200 people in April. Alabama, the only state in the nation to consistently have a waiting list in the Aids Drug Assistance Program, froze enrollment last year because of funding problems. Currently there is a waiting list of 525 people for the program.
