«AIDS Healthcare Foundation applauds the California Senate for its timely and unanimous vote on SB 699 earlier today, and we fully expect the Assembly to quickly move this crucial piece of legislation on to the Governor's desk. We are heartened that the Senate recognized the urgency of this bill.

«Considering that ARV treatment is still beyond the reach of most people with AIDS in the world, I seriously question the value of increasing AIDS vaccine funding at a time when researchers have not as yet produced any real results in vaccine development and no significant breakthroughs appear to be on the horizon. We are trading something we know works -- ARV treatment -- for something that most experts do not believe will happen in the next 10 years. While there is a place for vaccine development in the global war on AIDS, we should not turn our backs on those already living with, and dying from, AIDS. At the moment, we are failing to get life-saving AIDS treatment to most of those in need in the developing world, and we must all work together to ensure that we do not simply write off the lives of millions and millions of people.»
