The US really has to get out in front. We are the biggest per person, by a substantial amount, greenhouse emitters, and we give the most foreign aid, not per person but in absolute.
India is more of an aid recipient than a provider of aid.
Well-spent aid money is saving lives for a few thousand dollars per life saved.
AIDS itself is subject to incredible stigma.
China is certainly an important player in the global economy, and a widespread AIDS epidemic would threaten that growth.
The AIDS is a disease that is hard to talk about.
How we deal with the AIDS epidemic should be one of the greatest ways that the world gets measured. The report card for this era.
