“As a long-term survivor of HIV and Executive Director of The Reunion Project,
I know firsthand that uninterrupted access to treatment is the difference between surviving and thriving. Restricting Illinois' AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) would put the health and stability of thousands of people living with HIV at risk, including many older adults who have survived the epidemic for decades. ADAP keeps people in care, supports viral suppression, and helps prevent new HIV transmissions. Weakening this program would harm individuals, strain healthcare systems, and undermine Illinois' broader public health goals. Protecting ADAP is not only a commitment to people living with HIV, but it is also a commitment to a healthier Illinois for everyone.”
