Show Your Support of the Policy Committee's Position Papers
The Delaware HIV Consortium's Policy Committee provides guidance and recommendations to the Consortium, elected officials and the general public; and devises strategies for legislative initiatives when appropriate. In 2010, the Policy Committee completed two White Papers (Position Papers) associated with current issues related to HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment in Delaware. As White Papers are completed, organizations and individual are enlisted to "sign-on" in support. The White Papers then are utilized to educate and initiate discussion with community, faith-based and government stakeholders.
