HIV/AIDS Law: Past, Present, and Future
HIV/AIDS receives strong attention in Congress but public awareness has decreased. The presenters will discuss recent versions of the Ryan White CARE Act (domestic HIV treatment), efforts on global HIV treatment, and the prospects for getting Congress to re-examine issues such as syringe exchange; a strong HIV/AIDS prevention bill; the Americans with Disabilities Restoration Act; and a national HIV/AIDS strategy. How have state, or even local, governments acted (or not) to address these issues? Join us to answer these questions, share ideas and learn more about laws and litigation concerning HIV/AIDS at the federal, state and local levels.
