New Analysis Shows U.S. Global AIDS Policy Further Undermining
HIV Prevention in Sub-Saharan Africa
Funding for abstinence and faithfulness programs under the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) increasingly replaced comprehensive HIV prevention in fiscal years 2004 and 2005, and the U.S. is sending fewer condoms abroad today than in 1990, according to two new analyses by the Center for Health and Gender Equity (CHANGE). The analyses show that shifts in prevention policy acutely affect sub-Saharan Africa, the region hardest hit by the HIV epidemic.

IFRC HIV/AIDS Policy
The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (International Federation) has a long tradition of working in the area of health and care. National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies have been supporting individual HIV/AIDS projects since the mid-1980s. Although national and international initiatives have been successful in helping many individual beneficiaries, they have lacked the consistency and scale to make a significant impact on the HIV/AIDS epidemic. At its General Assembly in 2001, the International Federation took a truly global approach to the fight against HIV/AIDS and called for its 1987 HIV/AIDS policy, which had been reviewed in 1991 and 1993, to be updated. This policy provides a framework to support National Society implementation according to local needs and feasibility.
