Title 22 › Chapter 83— UNITED STATES LEADERSHIP AGAINST HIV/AIDS, TUBERCULOSIS, AND MALARIA › Subchapter I— POLICY PLANNING AND COORDINATION › § 7611
Create a comprehensive, global 5-year plan to expand and improve the fight against HIV/AIDS. The plan must boost U.S. leadership and help affected countries fight the disease. It must be flexible to respond to changes, link HIV work to broader health and development goals, set annual global treatment targets with country benchmarks, and include research, monitoring, and best-practice sharing. Required numeric goals include 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 the number of people on antiretroviral treatment beyond previously set goals; helping countries reach 80% access to counseling, testing, and services to prevent mother‑to‑child transmission; training and keeping at least 140,000 new health workers and working toward at least 2.3 doctors, nurses, and midwives per 1,000 people. The plan must address prevention for families, women, young people, orphans, and vulnerable children and include behavior-change approaches, condoms, male circumcision, safe blood, infection control, and efforts to reduce gender-based violence and other social risks. It must also include a 10-year resource estimate beginning October 1, 2013. The President must send the strategy report to Congress no later than October 1, 2009, showing purpose, costs, risks, goals, roles, harmonization with other actors, and how targets will be met. The Global AIDS Coordinator must contract the Institute of Medicine to produce a design and budget within 18 months after July 30, 2008 and must have the Institute publish a study no later than 4 years after July 30, 2008 that evaluates U.S.-supported HIV/AIDS programs and their health impact. The Comptroller General must report no later than 3 years after July 30, 2008. The Global AIDS Coordinator must publish an annual best practices report starting 1 year after July 30, 2008 and post it online. Inspectors General must make coordinated yearly oversight plans for fiscal years 2009 through March 25, 2025, with the first plan completed by September 1, 2008 (or 60 days after July 30, 2008). Up to $15,000,000 is available for audits during the five-year period starting October 1, 2008. Annual studies of treatment-provider costs must start by September 30, 2009 and continue through March 25, 2025, with results posted within 90 days; studies from September 30, 2014 must include more detailed expenditure analysis. A “partner country” is one that received at least $5,000,000 in U.S. HIV/AIDS assistance in the prior year. All U.S.-funded programs must display a clear message that they are supported by the people of the United States.
