U.S. Sustains Global AIDS Fight Despite Challenges

June 18, 2010

A post on America.gov says that despite economic challenges, "U.S. officials at the front lines of the [HIV/AIDS] pandemic promise increased funding and modified strategies for preventing the spread of the disease." The post describes attention given to developing an HIV vaccine after an early trial in Thailand showed "a modest ability to prevent HIV infection." It also describes an increase in PEPFAR funding and the focus on tailoring prevention efforts to diverse communities affected by HIV (Pellerin, 6/15).
