In New York City, which has some of the highest rents in the nation, people living with HIV/AIDS are often forced to sacrifice medicines and food in order to pay for housing. According to various data, many chronically ill patients are forced to survive on as little as $12 a day. "The passage of this legislation will guarantee critically needed housing stability for those whose health care is suffering," said Terri Smith Corona, vice president for Housing Works.
It is absolutely unacceptable that any single person suffers as a result of the District not being able to manage taxpayer dollars," said Mercedes Marquez, HUD's assistant secretary. In a statement to the press last month after specifics of the Washington Post investigation were made public, Marquez added, "This is where they p...

We are all around you, and you frequently don't know it. We have appointments to see doctors with specialties you cannot pronounce, and have experience going for tests that no one wants to think about. We are the "winners" of life's lottery in a way that no one would ever want to win. We are patients with a rare disease, and today is our day to "celebrate.
On the last day of February, the world recognizes Rare Disease Day in honor of people living with rare or orphan diseases. Patients with orphan diseases are not necessarily infectious or dangerous, we are merely alone. No ribbons, no support groups and hardly a celebrity willing to lift a finger.

[Bill Cosby]'s comments are no different than what we've heard coming from spokespersons from the police department and politicians after a shooting in Durham. How often have we heard, "It's OK, people! Don't worry. It happened over in 'those people's' neighborhood, and you're safe as long as you don't go over there." Let me translate. "Those people" do bad things, but "our people" don't have to worry as long as we keep distance from "those people.

In Sub-Saharan Africa, timely and reliable access to life saving HIV/AIDS drugs and related commodities by millions of African people living with HIV/AIDS is severely undermined by healthcare supply chain inefficiencies. In response to improve the management of healthcare supply chain and ensure patients' timely access to antiretroviral (ARV) drugs and antiretroviral therapy (ART), the so-called new Partnership for HIV/AIDS Supply Chain Management (NPHASCM) was initiated. NPHASCM is an amalgamation of 15 organizations with competencies in healthcare delivery and supply chain management charged with facilitating rapid response and efficient delivery of HIV/AIDS ARV and ART to Africans living with HIV/AIDS and people living with HIV/AIDS in other developing countries. Indeed, to achieve s...
