In case you haven't called yet, please follow these instructions:

1) Call the office of Miles White: 847-937-3417
2) Ask to speak to Mr. Miles White… if you don’t get him (likely) then just use this phone script to talk to his receptionist!
3) Send an email to sara [at] fightglobalaids [dot] org and/or the SGAC chapters list telling us how it went!

• Register new Kaletra in Africa and the global South immediately

• Publish affordable prices for Kaletra in middle-income countries

• Publicize a timeline for a pediatric formulation of the new Kaletra


“Finally, Mr. White, I'm asking that you convene a meeting with leaders and members of our campaign to discuss these demands further. You can contact Grant Gordon from our University of Chicago chapter to set up the details at 949.689.9999. We look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you."
