APICHA Supports HIV Testing Bill and Calls for More Funding for HIV Prevention

New York, NY – May 1, 2009 - The Asian & Pacific Islander Coalition on HIV/AIDS, Inc (APICHA) supports efforts by Assembly Health Chair Richard N. Gottfried, Senate Health Committee Chair Thomas K. Duane and the New York State Department of Health to pass legislation that will substantially increase access to HIV testing throughout the state.  This is especially important in light of the new CDC estimate of 56,000 new HIV infections per year, which indicates that the HIV epidemic is worse than previously thought...

APICHA is proud to announce that Robert Murayama, MD, MPH, has been appointed Chief Medical Officer.  Dr Murayama brings a wealth of knowledge to the organization, having spent 18 years specializing in the medical care of people living with HIV/AIDS, and in primary care for the LGBTQ community.

Getting tested for HIV is easy at APICHA! See how it's done and make an appointment by calling our Infoline at 1-866-APICHA-9 (1-866-274-2429).
