The short explanation of this alert was:
You Can Help Give Women
Power Over AIDS!
Hailed as one of the world's most promising new HIV-prevention technologies, microbicides are a class of products currently under development that women themselves would be able to use to help prevent transmission of HIV and other infections.
Unfortunately, barely 3% of the U.S. budget for HIV/AIDS research is currently spent on efforts to find a safe, effective microbicide.
But you can help change that! Ask your Representatives in Congress to sign on to the Microbicide Development Act (HR 1420/S 823).
The Microbicide Development Act will improve coordination and expand resources for microbicides development activities at three federal government agencies. With the support this bill provides, we could have an effective microbicide within the next 5-10 years. Without it, it will take much longer.
Please send the e-mail below or call your legislators. Go to http://www.fyi.legis.state.tx.us/Home.aspx to find who represents you and how to contact them.
Thank you!
