"The White House has issued an earnest statement attributed to President Trump about HIV/AIDS in America. It is technically accurate, apolitical and strikes just the right notes in terms of being somber and optimistic at the same time.
There's nothing exciting about the content of the four-paragraph statement. It simply reminds people that today is National HIV Testing Day, reviews some statistics about the epidemic and tells people why it's important to get tested.
But coming on the heels of the resignation of six members of his Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS (PACHA) last week, the words took on more significance. An HIV/AIDS council member who resigned wrote that Trump 'simply does not care.'"
