  12. Impact of Sequestration • HHS Letter to Senate Appropriations on Impacts of Sequestration: • “Sequestration would impair the Department's ability to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS…The Health Resources and Services Administration estimates that 7,400 fewer patients would have access to life-saving HIV medications through the AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP). This would cause delays in service and drug provision to people living with HIV and potentially lead to ADAP wait lists for HIV medications.” • 5.1% cut = $122 million

  14. NIH AIDS Research • FY12: $3.06 billion (Flat) • FY14 Community Request: $3.6 billion (+$540 million) • 5.1% cut = $156 million

The cuts to these programs as well can’t be good for people with HIV/AIDS.” • 5.1% cut = $17 million

  18. HIV/AIDS Programs & the Budget • Despite significant overall budget cuts, so far HIV programs have been mostly spared • Domestic HIV programs have been a priority for Obama Administration & many in the Congress • At current spending levels, we can not realize our goals anytime soon • Decisions now will determine the future of HIV/AIDS • President’s budget April 10, 2013
