SUMMARY
Synopsis of Bill
Senate Joint Memorial 21 requests the DOH lead a study to improve the coordination, efficiency
and delivery of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immune deficiency syn-
drome (AIDS) services in New Mexico, especially among Native Americans and in rural areas.
Significant Issues
The DOH reports there are 1,910 persons afflicted with HIV/AIDS living in New Mexico. SJM
21 surveys all services for persons living with HIV/AIDS with the goal of coordinating funding
and service delivery and eliminating duplication. The DOH is the lead agency working in col-
laboration with the Corrections Department, the Human Services Department, the Department of
Finance and Administration, the Public Education Department including its Vocational Educa-
tion Division, advocates, consumers, service providers and disability advocacy groups.
