Even though it was his 20th wedding anniversary, Dr. David Holtgrave, a top HIV policy analyst and researcher, joined us for the Unity March yesterday. He lost his voice, so he presented his speech as a series of phrases on notebook paper, which I got to read out loud --

But his concise words really sum up the implications of the incidence controversy -- here they are!

LOST MY VOICE

I PJM

NEW INCIDENCE # IS....

AT LEAST 40,001

WHETHER 40,001 OR 60,000...

ISSUES ARE THE SAME....

1. CDC'S 2010 GOALS TOO LOW

2. PREVENTION FUNDS DOWN 19%

(ADJUSTED FOR INFLATION) [I'M A NERD]

3. AND UPTAKE OF SCIENCE-BASED....

INTERVENTIONS WAY TOO LOW!

WHETHER 40,001 OR 60,000....

NEED AN EVIDENCE-BASED PLAN

NEED ADEQUATE RESOURCES

NEED ANNUAL ACCOUNTABILITY

NEED BOLD NATIONAL LEADERSHIP

NEED PJM

I PJM

Thanks David! It's mutual!
