As the number of reported measles cases in the United States steadily increases, you can help IDSA counter anti-vaccine propaganda with these new tools.

As news stories about the challenges facing research and development of new infection fighting drugs gained traction this past week, IDSA and our leaders were part of the dialogue with a letter to the New York Times, op-ed columns in The Hill and STAT, interviews with the media, and a news release on the need for swift federal action.

HIVMA and the broader HIV community are requesting that Congress provides new funding for the “Ending the HIV Epidemic” Initiative, in addition to increased funding to strengthen our public health system and ability to respond to the growing opioids, viral hepatitis and STD syndemics.
