A while back the Washington Blade was one of the few papers that appeared to cover the long awaited PACHA meeting (March 14 -15, 2019). You can read their coverage Trump’s picks for AIDS council After reading their article I felt compelled to respond, since I felt that the whole process was poorly handled as best and corrupt at worst. The Washington Blade editor response to me with the request that I should re-write and re-submit a letter reflecting my personal experience – which I did. However, weeks and three telephone calls to the editor later and I’ve still heard nothing, so I’ve decided to post my letter to my blog.
