Thank you @AlexisMCalatayu for meeting with a dozen of #Floridians living with #HIV last night, in person & virtual, to dialogue on the life-saving role of the AIDS Drug Assistance Program. #ADAP is more than hope, it saves lives. @christinesexton@Fla_Pol
Always great to see friends in Wilton Manors!
Earlier this week, I had the honor to join Our Fund Foundation and Equality Florida to honor Michael Rajner. For years, Michael has been a fierce advocate for HIV/AIDS research funding in Florida and a strong defender of AIDS Drug Assistance Programs that help ensure people can access lifesaving treatment. His leadership and commitment have made a real difference for so many in our community, and it was a privilege to help recognize his impact.
.@WLRN - Florida’s AIDS Drug Assistance Program faces a serious funding shortfall. 30,000+ Floridians rely on ADAP—16,000 could lose coverage. I’ve sponsored stopgap funding in the Senate to keep lifesaving care flowing. No one should lose treatment.

Gov. Ron DeSantis today signed emergency funding for Florida's AIDS Drug Assistance Program to run through June 30. State cuts to the program would have left around 12,000 people without access to life-saving HIV/AIDS medication.

Participants in the state’s AIDS Drug Assistance Program will be able to access funds to cover their HIV medication after Gov. Ron DeSantis signed legislation Tuesday providing stopgap funding mitigating cuts imposed earlier this month

After lawmakers last week approved an infusion of cash, the state has short-circuited a legal fight over cuts to a program that provides medical assistance to people with HIV and AIDS. #FLpol#FLpolitics

Floridians living with #HIV right now going without HIV-medications and risk medication resistance. @GovRonDeSantis please sign #HB697 today so @HealthyFla can begin to reenroll and dispense life-saving medications right away.
A plan to prevent thousands of HIV positive Floridians from losing coverage for their prescriptions is headed to Gov. Ron DeSantis after the House approved its version of the stopgap bill. https://t.co/vDB8d6x4RI
Florida AIDS Drug Assistance Program consumers that have lost coverage can select a new plan or revise their current plan before April 30.

The Florida Senate steps up to address the funding gap in life-sustaining HIV/AIDs medication, providing $30.9 million in funding to implement & restore AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) through June 30, 2026 for low-income Floridians at/below 400% of the federal poverty level.
The Sun Sentinel Editorial Board urges the Florida Legislature to force the Department of Health to ensure that HIV-AIDS patients in Florida continue to receive access to critical lifesaving drugs.
Florida is narrowing eligibility for its AIDS Drug Assistance Program, a safety net that provides life-saving HIV medications to low-income residents. Critics warn this could leave more than 16,000 people without treatment. https://t.co/LmlIHqjAYY
State cuts to the AIDS Drug Assistance Program would cause 10,000 people to lose coverage for their HIV medication.
Public health advocates say it could affect as many as 16k.
