2008 Policy Priorities: Summary

PREVENTION
1. Condom access
2. Comprehensive sex education
3. Drug overdose prevention
4. Microbicide Development Act

CARE
5. HIV testing funding
6. Housing services
7. Healthcare expansion
8. Expedited STD treatment

Each part of this plan relies on complementary activities to create momentum, reach affected communities, and address—directly and indirectly—the factors fueling HIV transmission and unmet healthcare, housing, and social service needs.

Participants in our policy development process determined the eight priority initiatives as those having the highest probability of achieving measurable and immediate results. AFC will continue to work in many other areas unlisted in this report, including sterile syringe access, addressing discrimination and stigma, Medicaid and Medicare, and AIDS-related appropriations.
