WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As part of its ongoing effort to get information regarding any interactions and correspondence between the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Gilead Sciences about potential FDA approval of Gilead’s blockbuster AIDS drug Truvada for use as a form of HIV prevention in uninfected individuals, AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) is expanding its media and advocacy campaign targeting the two parties with a new online banner ad asking, asking, “What’s rotten at FDA?” The banner ad runs in the online versions of Politico, Real Clear Politics and Roll Call from February 16 through February 22 in the greater Washington, D.C. area. Through the banner ads, viewers are directed to a website where the public is invited to send e-letters to U.S. Congressman Darrell Issa, Chairman of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, asking him to convene an investigation of the FDA and to ensure that Truvada for HIV prevention and other unsafe drugs and medical devices are not hastily approved by FDA.
