But officials with AIDS advocacy groups said they were hopeful that funding for HIV prevention would be available from a $650 million “community-based prevention and wellness” fund that Congress approved as part of the final version of the $787 billion stimulus bill.
“It’s not as much as we had hoped for, but we are very pleased that an overall pot of money that recognizes the importance of preventi ...
