Fact Sheet on G8 Nations' Spending on HIV/AIDS
- Heidi Hess, USA
*******************

When member nations of the Group of 8 meet in Evian-les-Bains, France, from June 1-3,
topics of discussion are expected to include countries' financial support for combating
the HIV/AIDS epidemic. With that in mind, the Kaiser Family Foundation has prepared a new
fact sheet - "Global HIV/AIDS Support from G8 Countries" - that provides a snapshot of how
much nations are spending to support efforts to address HIV/AIDS in highly affected
countries.

This fact sheet summarizes bilateral assistance as well as multilateral assistance through
the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria to support prevention, care and
impact mitigation programs. It compares funding commitments by G8 members, discusses new
U.S. commitments being considered by the U.S. Congress, and explains different ways that
funds are allocated.

The fact sheet, along with other materials about HIV/AIDS, is available at
