Obama Widens Access to HIV Treatment

Just a day after this article came out saying we can expect to see a rise in HIV infections in the US
HIV Treatment Lags In U.S., Guaranteeing More Infections
Obama announces new goals for opening access to the retro viral drugs.
Obama to announce new steps to combat AIDS
His new initiative gives $50 million for HIV treatment in the US. While also giving aid to HIV treatment and prevention in developing countries.
It was a great blow to hear that only 28% of people suffering from HIV are getting proper treatment. It's good to know that the Obama administration can accomplish some things without congress slowing things down.
