Support Equal Access to ARV
The Reading of the Testimonies NYC calls on the Office of the US Global AIDS Coordinator (OGAC) to recognize HIV+ survivors of the genocide as an at-risk population for antiretroviral (ARV) treatment as part of the US President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). Despite the fact that many survivors are HIV+ today due to a systematic program of rape and deliberate infection during the genocide and are particularly vulnerable, PEPFAR currently does not recognize survivors as an at-risk population eligible for priority for HIV and AIDS counselling, testing and treatment – but it does recognise prisoners, a number of whom perpetrated the sexual violence that infected those survivors.
By submitting this form on this page, I am demonstrating my support the campaign for equal access to antiretroviral treatment for HIV+ survivors.
