Coalition Issues “Report Card” on
Bush Administration’s HIV/AIDS Policies
A coalition of national, regional, and local organizations, including Project Inform, recently developed a “report card” on the Bush Administration’s efforts to fight HIV/AIDS. The report card evaluates the Administration’s performance on the following topics:

Care/treatment
Housing

Prevention
Research

Executive Office of the President
The coalition also issued an open letter to President Bush urging him to improve upon his poor scores and indicating our willingness to work with him and his Administration to make HIV/AIDS a priority.
