News Briefs Gates Foundation Selecting Areas for Anti-AIDS Projects in IndiaDecember 2, 2002 A team of experts from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation arrived in India last week to select areas where the foundation can put its money to work preventing the spread of HIV/AIDS, officials said. The team is surveying areas of southern Andhra Pradesh state, where the foundation has already allocated $25 million for a hepatitis vaccination program. "They are surveying some of the worst affected districts of the state," said K. Sivaprasad Rao, Andhra Pradesh's health minister. "On the basis of their findings, the foundation will prepare an action plan." Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates said during a visit to India last month that his foundation would spend $100 million on HIV/AIDS prevention projects in India.
