Governor Asks Congress to Fund Needle-Exchange Programs

Malloy wants Congress to fund needle-exchange programs

|
On AIDS Awareness Day, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy today asked Congress to fund needle-exchange programs to cut the spread of HIV.

Here’s the letter: “The prescription opioid and heroin epidemic ravaging our country and the recent outbreak of HIV and hepatitis in the Midwest underscore a federal policy that is failing our public health system. The time has come for Congress to reverse its ban on funding syringe exchange programs. Infected needles result in 3,000 to 5,000 transmissions of HIV each year and an estimated 10,000 transmissions of the hepatitis C virus in the United States. People who inject drugs make up eight percent of new HIV infections in the United States, and over 60 percent of new hepatitis C (HCV) infections, an emerging epidemic in young people. Syringe exchange programs are a proven and cost-effective approach for preventing transmission of HIV and viral hepatitis among people who inject drugs. Data supports that these programs promote public health and safety by taking syringes off the streets. They also help protect law enforcement personnel from needle stick injuries, which can result in the transmission of diseases such as HIV/AIDS and hepatitis C. Connecticut, a state with legal syringe since 1992, has seen a steep decline in HIV cases among injection drug users. Injection drug use risk represented almost 40 percent of newly diagnosed HIV cases in 2002, and only 8.5 percent of newly diagnosed cases in 2013. The National Alliance of State and Territorial AIDS Directors recently named a fellowship in honor of Beth Weinstein, who served as the AIDS Director for the Connecticut Department of Public Health from 1987-2002. She helped usher in the law that led to one of the first syringe exchange programs in the United States. Because of Ms. Weinstein’s leadership, Connecticut’s syringe exchange program has saved thousands of lives. Still the need for these services is great. The current ban on use of federal funds for syringe exchange limits the success of state funded public health initiatives like Connecticut’s syringe exchange program. I urge you to work with your colleagues in Congress to reverse this ban and support the use of federal funds for syringe exchange.

Sincerely,


Dannel P. Malloy
Governor”

A friend of mine here in Hamburg is also from Africa. She told me about African herbs but I was nervous. I am very afraid when it comes to Africa because I heard many terrible things about them because of my Christianity. god for direction, take a bold step and get in touch with him in the email and then move to WhatsApp, he asked me if I can come for treatment or I want a delivery, I told him I wanted to know him I buy ticket in 2 ways to Africa To meet Dr. Itua, I went there and I was speechless from the people I saw there. Patent, sick people. Itua is a god sent to the world, I told my pastor about what I am doing, Pastor Bill Scheer. We have a real battle beautifully with Spirit and Flesh. Adoration that same night. He prayed for me and asked me to lead. I spent 2 weeks and 2 days in Africa at Dr Itua Herbal Home. After the treatment, he asked me to meet his nurse for the HIV test when I did it. It was negative, I asked my friend to take me to another nearby hospital when I arrived, it was negative. I was overwhite with the result, but happy inside of me. We went with Dr. Itua, I thank him but I explain that I do not have enough to show him my appreciation, that he understands my situation, but I promise that he will testify about his good work. Thank God for my dear friend, Emma, I know I could be reading this now, I want to thank you. And many thanks to Dr. Itua Herbal Center. He gave me his calendar that I put on my wall in my house.

To be honest, I thought my life was over, that I would ever find love, get married, have children or anything normal. Lucky for me I have an amazing support system.  My family supported me then I never thought that I was invincible to STD s or pregnancy or anything else parents warn their kids about. I just didn’t think about it. I was in a monogamous relationship and thought that I asked the right questions.  We even talked about marriage Scary.  During that time I was in college and donated blood on a re as well. who helped me in search of cure through the media.there we saw a good testimony of sister 'Kate' about the good work of Dr Akhigbe natural herbal medicine cure.then I copied his email address and contacted him.

  9. Natural herbs have treated so many illnesses that drugs and injections can't treat. I've seen the great importance of natural herbs and the wonderful work they have done in people's lives. I read people's testimonies online on how they were treated of Herpes, HPV HIV/AIDS & STDs, Diabetics , Gonorrhea, Hepatitis, Stomach infections, Chronic pains. etc. by powerful natural herbal medicine, so I decided to contact the doctor because I know nature has the power to heal anything. I was diagnosed with Herpes for the past years but Dr Chike treated me with his natural herbs and I referred my aunt and her husband to him immediately because they were both suffering from herpes but to God be the glory, they were treated too believe it or not, but I am a living testimony. There is no harm trying powerful natural herbs. Contact Dr on Whats-App number . +233502715551. or you can also contact through his Facebook Page @ Dr Chike Herbal Remedy.
