I'm not entirely clear on this, but I'll give it a try. I believe the $15B for Africa is for already-developed drug treatments, not for new research.

It is desperately needed. No matter what one might say about how people's lifestyles are responsible for this (and to some degree I agree with that), nothing can make me believe that infants and children deserve it.

I agree entirely. The costs of vaccines for innocents is important, but the question arises as to how to get those treatments to those that need them?

Africa is awash in HIV populations. The costs are astronomical and we face the same problems as we do here because the practices that spread the disease are impossible to control. In reports I've read recently, AIDS carriers are raping virginal women, girls and infants in the Juju belief that this will rid them of the disease. Here in the US and Europe, drug addicts and homosexuals routinely practice their deviancy without a single moment's regard for the costs of such practices, Indeed, we are being castigated for not accepting such behavior at the same time as we are castigated for not finding a cure so that such behavior can go on in perpetutity.

Yes, I agree that all of this is terribly tragic, but I am truthfully only concerned about those of whom had no choice in contracting AIDS. Once again, America will likely step up to the plate and spend our wealth on millions who don't care enough to care for themselves and we will be hated because we haven't erradicated consequences entirely.
