35. HIV/AIDS Prevention and Treatment

WHEREAS HIV/AIDS is one of the most dangerous diseases in human history; AND

WHEREAS the Bush administration has reduced and restricted national and international funding for HIV/AIDS research and treatment;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Maui Democratic Party calls upon the Hawai`i Democratic Party and our Hawai`i legislators to work to fully fund HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment programs and especially to support clean needle programs for drug users and those directed to providing cheap AIDS drugs to everyone who needs them both nationally and internationally.
