Abstract:

This updated policy brief examines federal funding for the global HIV/AIDS epidemic, with a primary emphasis on funding and activities that benefit resource poor countries. United States funding for international HIV/AIDS activities in resource poor countries began in the mid-1980s; and in FY 2003, the U.S. Congress appropriated close to $1.5 billion globally.
