Disease.
BUSH: A hopeful society acts boldly to fight diseases like HIV/AIDS, which can be prevented and treated and defeated.
More than a million Americans live with HIV, and half of all AIDS cases occur among African-Americans.
I ask Congress to reform and reauthorize the Ryan White Act and provide new funding to states so we end the waiting lists for AIDS medicines in America.
(APPLAUSE)
We will also lead a nationwide effort, working closely with African-American churches and faith-based groups, to deliver rapid HIV tests to millions, end the stigma of AIDS and come closer to the day when there are no new infections in America.
(APPLAUSE)
