Below is the information from the SC HIV/AIDS Council and the SC HIV/AIDS Care Crisis Task Force that I'd like to pass along if anyone is interested.
Please call the SC legislators immediately. Do not call the legislators in the US Congress at this time as they have no control over the SC state budget.

Here is what to say:
  1. "PLEASE save the AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) and HIV Prevention in South Carolina".
  2. "PLEASE put the funding for these two programs back into the state budget."
  3. WHY?
    1. "Funding ADAP and HIV Prevention will reduce further transmission of HIV."
    2. "Funding ADAP and HIV Prevention will keep People Living With HIV healthy and working."
    3. "Funding ADAP and HIV Prevention will save tax payers' money by preventing unnecessary hospitalization due to illness."
    4. "I respectfully request that you restore the current level of funding for these two programs ADAP and HIV Prevention back into the budget."
  4. "Thank you for support. We ask for your dedication to saving the AIDS Drug Assistance Program and HIV Prevention."
