Backs a September 9 awareness day for HIV and hepatitis among African immigrants — no new program or money
The details
Most people would see no change in daily life. This resolution backs naming September 9 as an awareness day. The day focuses on HIV/AIDS and hepatitis among African immigrants and refugees in the U.S. The resolution does not set up any program, spend money, or change any law. The House would say these groups need more attention and resources. It would also urge more testing, vaccines, and links to care to cut new infections and deaths. The resolution says HIV rates in this group are 6 times those of the general U.S. population. It says about 10 percent live with hepatitis B. A House resolution like this has no force of law.
