Frequently asked questions
How
long has Project Inform been fighting the AIDS epidemic?
Since 1985. At the start of the epidemic, several community members
joined together to start a short-term "project" at a time
when reliable information about HIV/AIDS and its treatment was nearly
impossible to obtain. For more than 20 years, Project Inform has
worked to accelerate and facilitate advances in treatment and access
to health care for people living with HIV.
What
are Project Inform's core programs?
Project Inform is committed to advancing treatment options and health
care access to those living with HIV disease. To this end, we advocate
heavily on a variety of treatment and health care access issues
with government, academia, the community, independent entities and
industry to affect positive change for people living with HIV disease.
We have provided leadership in numerous areas, including but not
limited to legislation such as Ryan White CARE, Medicare/Medicaid
and ADAP as well as affecting the national AIDS research agenda
and helping to bring more than 30 HIV drugs to consumers.
