With all due respect. If we can't get the State of<br>Idaho to pay for the medications physicians have<br>prescribed for my former consumers, many of them<br>homeless. Please, please enlighten me, who is going to<br>pay for the expensive medication that keeps HIV from
<br>turning to full blown AIDS?</blockquote><div><br>
Currently, the majority of that cost is borne by ADAP, or the AIDS Drug
Assistance Program. Some of that cost is also picked up by the Ryan
White CARE act. Even people without health insurance -- even people
that are homeless -- can receive HIV drugs. It's one of the few
programs that hasn't had the majority of its funding stripped out over
the last five years.<br>

The civil courts also have an effective remedy for sexually transmitted
financial burdens. I fully support making the person who transmitted
the infection to you pay for at least a portion, if not all, of their
victim's drugs and treatment.<br>
