The President must create a comprehensive five-year plan to expand and improve U.S. efforts to fight HIV/AIDS around the world.

It must set specific goals, including preventing 12,000,000 new HIV infections, caring for 12,000,000 people affected by HIV/AIDS (including 5,000,000 orphans and vulnerable children), increasing antiretroviral treatment beyond existing goals, helping countries reach 80 percent access to services to prevent mother-to-child transmission, training and retaining at least 140,000 new health workers, and aiming for staffing of 2.3 doctors, nurses, and midwives per 1,000 people. The plan must also include prevention approaches (behavior change, condoms, testing, drug treatment, male circumcision, safe blood and infection control), services for women, children, and vulnerable groups, research, monitoring, country-level targets, and a 10-year resource estimate beginning October 1, 2013. The President must send a report with the plan to Congress not later than October 1, 2009, showing objectives, costs, roles, and how targets will be met.
