22 U.S.C. § 7611 — Findings

Congress makes the following findings: (1) During the last 20 years, HIV/AIDS has assumed pandemic proportions, spreading from the most severely affected regions, sub-Saharan Africa and the Caribbean, to all corners of the world, and leaving an unprecedented path of death and devastation. (2) According to the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), more than 65,000,000 individuals worldwide have been infected with HIV since the epidemic began, more than 25,000,000 of these individuals have lost their lives to the disease, and more than 14,000,000 children have been orphaned by the disease. HIV/AIDS is the fourth-highest cause of death in the world. (3) (A) At the end of 2002, an estimated 42,000,000 individuals were infected with HIV or living with AIDS, of which more than 75 percent live in Africa or the Caribbean. Of these individuals, more than 3,200,000 were children under the age of 15 and more than 19,200,000 were women. (B) Women are four times more vulnerable to infection than are men and are becoming infected at increasingly high rates, in part because many societies do not provide poor women and young girls with the social, legal, and cultural protections against high risk activities that expose them to HIV/AIDS. (C) Women and children who are refugees or are internally displaced persons are especially vulnerable to sexual exploitation and violence, thereby increasing the possibility of HIV infection. (4) As the leading cause of death in sub-Saharan Africa, AIDS has killed more than 19,400,000 individuals (more than 3 times the number of AIDS deaths in the rest of the world) and will claim the lives of one-quarter of the population, mostly adults, in the next decade. (5) An estimated 2,000,000 individuals in Latin America and the Car

22 U.S.C. § 7622 — Development of a comprehensive, five-year, global strategy

**(a) Strategy** The President shall establish a comprehensive, integrated, 5-year strategy to expand and improve efforts to combat global HIV/AIDS. This strategy shall— (1) further strengthen the capability of the United States to be an effective leader of the international campaign against this disease and strengthen the capacities of nations experiencing HIV/AIDS epidemics to combat this disease; (2) maintain sufficient flexibility and remain responsive to— (A) changes in the epidemic; (B) challenges facing partner countries in developing and implementing an effective national response; and (C) evidence-based improvements and innovations in the prevention, care, and treatment of HIV/AIDS; (3) situate United States efforts to combat HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria within the broader United States global health and development agenda, establishing a roadmap to link investments in specific disease programs to the broader goals of strengthening health systems and infrastructure and to integrate and coordinate HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, or malaria programs with other health or development programs, as appropriate; (4) provide a plan to— (A) prevent 12,000,000 new HIV infections worldwide; (B) support— (i) the increase in the number of individuals with HIV/AIDS receiving antiretroviral treatment above the goal established under [section 7672(a)(3) of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title22-section7672/a/3&num=0&edition=prelim) and increased pursuant to paragraphs (1) through (3) of [section 7673(d) of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title22-section7673/d&num=0&edition=prelim); and (ii) additional treatment through coordinated multilateral efforts; (C) support

Editorial Notes CODIFICATION Section was enacted as part of the Foreign Oper- ations, Export Financing, and Related Programs Ap- propriations Act, 2005, and also as part of the Consoli- dated Appropriations Act, 2005, and not as part of the United States Leadership Against HIV/AIDS, Tuber- culosis, and Malaria Act of 2003 which comprises this chapter. SUBCHAPTER II—SUPPORT FOR MULTILAT- ERAL FUNDS, PROGRAMS, AND PUBLIC- PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS § 7621. Sense of Congress on public-private part- nerships (a) Findings Congress makes the following findings: (1) Innovative partnerships between govern- ments and organizations in the private sector (including foundations, universities, corpora- tions, faith-based and community-based orga- nizations, and other nongovernmental organi- zations) have proliferated in recent years, par- ticularly in the area of health. (2) Public-private sector partnerships mul- tiply local and international capacities to strengthen the delivery of health services in developing countries and to accelerate re- search for vaccines and other pharmaceutical products that are essential to combat infec- tious diseases decimating the populations of these countries. (3) These partnerships maximize the unique capabilities of each sector while combining fi- nancial and other resources, scientific knowl- edge, and expertise toward common goals which neither the public nor the private sector can achieve alone. (4) Sustaining existing public-private part- nerships and building new ones are critical to the success of the international community’s efforts to combat HIV/AIDS and other infec- tious diseases around
