Representative Henry A. Waxman 30th District of California

Defeating the HIV/AIDS epidemic continues to be one of Rep. Waxman's highest health priorities. In 1982, Rep. Waxman convened the first of over 30 hearings in the Health and Environment Subcommittee to raise public awareness and secure government funding in the fight against AIDS. Since then, Rep. Waxman has written and helped enact federal legislation to fund the search for a cure and bring meaningful relief to people with HIV/AIDS. As Chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, he continues to champion federal investments into HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment, and research.
