The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Office of HIV/AIDS Housing announced that it will send more than $6.5 million to the Sunshine State. The funds are part of $41 million in grants...

The grant was awarded through HHS’s Ryan White HIV Emergency Relief Program, which provides direct financial assistance to metropolitan areas that have been most severely affected by the HIV epidemic.

"This legislation would require the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to revise its Guidance on Reducing the Risk of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Transmission (HIV) by Blood and Blood Products based on an assessment of current testing accuracy and individual risk-based analysis, rather than categorization."

The governor’s office outlined the achievements in areas Nuñez oversees.

The bill has now cleared three House committees without opposition, including the Health and Human Services Committee on Tuesday. Jones weighed in after that vote.
