My name is _____ and I’m a constituent.
I am outraged that the administration is implementing severe cuts to the CDC’s Division of HIV Prevention—a decision that would devastate public health consequences for years to come. In New Jersey prevention work has been crucial in halting HIV transmission through comprehensive testing initiatives, educational campaigns, and community programs that link numerous individuals to crucial services. These efforts have played a key role in decreasing new HIV cases and ensuring at-risk populations can access preventive measures. All of our work will be dismantled and we will not end the HIV epidemic in our lifetime. We are asking Governor Murphy to use state funds to cover the loss of federal funds for one fiscal year until we can plan accordingly and coordinate our efforts at the federal level.
