Description

Responding to the New York City Commission on HIV/AIDS May, 2005 draft report, the Center for HIV Law and Policy drafted comments on behalf of SMART, Inc (Sisters Mobilized for AIDS Research and Treatment). SMART and CHLP endorsed many of the Commission's recommendations. However, comments were submitted to draw attention to the report?s failure to address the need for local advocacy on development of microbicides (the most promising prevention technology for women currently in research); to identify steps to improve deadly systemic deficiencies in HIV care for the incarcerated; or to justify proposals for expansion of HIV surveillance.
