Comment on Aids Creeps Back in Parts of Zambia, a Year After U.S. Cuts to HIV Assistance

Comments

The US previously spent about $5B a year for global HIV programs, or about $15 per resident. I’d mail them my $15 if they’d keep this going.

And for the inevitable whining about the cost, let me toss some enlightened self interest your way. Know what else is expensive? Tuberculosis, which runs rampant through communities with high HIV rates. I’d double my donation to keep that at bay. I don’t want a tuberculosis epidemic here. I’d rather fight and win that battle elsewhere in the world.
