This is important to know how the focus on the AIDS management is going to
change in the coming few years with the available funds from different
sources.

Well, I declare!

MORE money, probably. That was the bottom line of the declaration that came
out of the UN General Assembly's high-level meeting on AIDS, which closed
on June 10th. It was, however, accompanied by a promise of more money for
real by PEPFAR, the American President's Emergency Plan For AIDS Relief,
and a series of PEPFAR's allies.The UN "recognised", in the nuanced
argot of diplomacy, an estimate made by scientists at its agency, UNAIDS,
that the amount of money which needs to be spent on AIDS per year in poor and
middle-income countries should reach something between $22 billion and $24
billion by 2015. However that recognition was prefaced, in a phrase that bore
the hallmarks of arm-wrestling behind the scenes, by a commitment only to
reach a "significant level" of annual global expenditure on the
disease.Not quite a target, then, but perhaps the best that could be expected
in these stringent times.
