Clinton, Australia launch AIDS campaign
Infection Control Monitor, February 24, 2006
Former U.S. President Bill Clinton and Australia announced plans to combat AIDS in China, Vietnam, and Papua New Guinea, warning that 40 percent of all new infections could be in the Asia-Pacific region by 2010, Reuters reports.
AusAID and the Clinton Foundation signed a memorandum of understanding under which Australia would contribute $18.5 million over the next four years.
The money would be used to make anti-retroviral drugs more readily available and to improve testing and monitoring systems in the three countries.
Clinton said the partnership would focus in part on providing treatment for children infected with the disease in Vietnam and Papua New Guinea. Vietnam, China, and Indonesia face the fastest-growing HIV epidemic in the world.
