CHAPTER 76 - ASSISTANCE TO COUNTRIES WITH LARGE POPULATIONS HAVING
HIV/AIDS

Sec. 6802. Findings and purposes
-STATUTE-
(a) Findings
Congress makes the following findings:
(1) According to the Surgeon General of the United States, the
epidemic of human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune
deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) will soon become the worst
epidemic of infectious disease in recorded history, eclipsing
both the bubonic plague of the 1300's and the influenza epidemic
of 1918-1919 which killed more than 20,000,000 people worldwide.
(2) According to the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS
(UNAIDS), more than 34,300,000 people in the world today are
living with HIV/AIDS, of which approximately 95 percent live in
the developing world.
(3) UNAIDS data shows that among children age 14 and under
worldwide, more than 3,800,000 have died from AIDS, more than
1,300,000 are living with the disease; and in 1 year alone - 1999
- an estimated 620,000 became infected, of which over 90 percent
were babies born to HIV-positive women.
(4) Although sub-Saharan Africa has only 10 percent of the
world's population, it is home to more than 24,500,000 - roughly
70 percent - of the world's HIV/AIDS cases.
(5) Worldwide, there have already been an estimated 18,800,000
deaths because of HIV/AIDS, of which more than 80 percent
occurred in sub-Saharan Africa.
(6) The gap between rich and poor countries in terms of
transmission of HIV from mother to child has been increasing.
Moreover, AIDS threatens to reverse years of steady progress of
child survival in developing countries. UNAIDS believes that by
the year 2010, AIDS may have increased mortality of children
under 5 years of age by more than 100 percent in regions most
affected by the virus.
(7) According to UNAIDS, by the end of 1999, 13,200,000
children have lost at least one parent to AIDS, including
12,100,000 children in sub-Saharan Africa, and are thus
considered AIDS orphans.
(8) At current infection and growth rates for HIV/AIDS, the
National Intelligence Council estimates that the number of AIDS
orphans worldwide will increase dramatically, potentially
increasing threefold or more in the next 10 years, contributing
to economic decay, social fragmentation, and political
destabilization in already volatile and strained societies.
Children without care or hope are often drawn into prostitution,
crime, substance abuse, or child soldiery.
(9) Donors must focus on adequate preparations for the
explosion in the number of orphans and the burden they will place
on families, communities, economies, and governments. Support
structures and incentives for families, communities, and
institutions which will provide care for children orphaned by
HIV/AIDS, or for the children who are themselves afflicted by
HIV/AIDS, will be essential.
(10) The 1999 annual report by the United Nations Children's
Fund (UNICEF) states "[t]he number of orphans, particularly in
Africa, constitutes nothing less than an emergency, requiring an
emergency response" and that "finding the resources needed to
help stabilize the crisis and protect children is a priority that
requires urgent action from the international community.".
(11) The discovery of a relatively simple and inexpensive means
of interrupting the transmission of HIV from an infected mother
to the unborn child - namely with nevirapine (NVP), which costs
US$4 a tablet - has created a great opportunity for an
unprecedented partnership between the United States Government
and the governments of Asian, African and Latin American
countries to reduce mother-to-child transmission (also known as
"vertical transmission") of HIV.
(12) According to UNAIDS, if implemented this strategy will
decrease the proportion of orphans that are HIV-infected and
decrease infant and child mortality rates in these developing
regions.
(13) A mother-to-child antiretroviral drug strategy can be a
force for social change, providing the opportunity and impetus
needed to address often long-standing problems of inadequate
services and the profound stigma associated with HIV-infection
and the AIDS disease. Strengthening the health infrastructure to
improve mother-and-child health, antenatal, delivery and
postnatal services, and couples counseling generates enormous
spillover effects toward combating the AIDS epidemic in
developing regions.
(14) United States Census Bureau statistics show life
expectancy in sub-Saharan Africa falling to around 30 years of
age within a decade, the lowest in a century, and project life
expectancy in 2010 to be 29 years of age in Botswana, 30 years of
age in Swaziland, 33 years of age in Namibia and Zimbabwe, and 36
years of age in South Africa, Malawi, and Rwanda, in contrast to
a life expectancy of 70 years of age in many of the countries
without a high prevalence of AIDS.
(15) A January 2000 United States National Intelligence
Estimate (NIE) report on the global infectious disease threat
concluded that the economic costs of infectious diseases -
especially HIV/AIDS - are already significant and could reduce
GDP by as much as 20 percent or more by 2010 in some sub-Saharan
African nations.
(16) According to the same NIE report, HIV prevalence among
militias in Angola and the Democratic Republic of the Congo are
estimated at 40 to 60 percent, and at 15 to 30 percent in
Tanzania.
(17) The HIV/AIDS epidemic is of increasing concern in other
regions of the world, with UNAIDS estimating that there are more
than 5,600,000 cases in South and South-east Asia, that the rate
of HIV infection in the Caribbean is second only to sub-Saharan
Africa, and that HIV infections have doubled in just 2 years in
the former Soviet Union.
(18) Despite the discouraging statistics on the spread of
HIV/AIDS, some developing nations - such as Uganda, Senegal, and
Thailand - have implemented prevention programs that have
substantially curbed the rate of HIV infection.
(19) AIDS, like all diseases, knows no national boundaries, and
there is no certitude that the scale of the problem in one
continent can be contained within that region.
(20) Accordingly, United States financial support for medical
research, education, and disease containment as a global strategy
has beneficial ramifications for millions of Americans and their
families who are affected by this disease, and the entire
population which is potentially susceptible.
(b) Purposes
The purposes of this chapter are to -
(1) help prevent human suffering through the prevention,
diagnosis, and treatment of HIV/AIDS; and
(2) help ensure the viability of economic development,
stability, and national security in the developing world by
advancing research to -
(A) understand the causes associated with HIV/AIDS in
developing countries; and
(B) assist in the development of an AIDS vaccine.

orphans in sub-Saharan Africa
-STATUTE-
(a) Statement of policy
It is in the national interest of the United States to assist in
mitigating the burden that will be placed on sub-Saharan African
social, economic, and political institutions as these institutions
struggle with the consequences of a dramatically increasing AIDS
orphan population, many of whom are themselves infected by HIV and
living with AIDS. Effectively addressing that burden and its
consequences in sub-Saharan Africa will require a coordinated
multidonor strategy.
(b) Development of strategy
The President shall coordinate the development of a multidonor
strategy to provide for the support and education of AIDS orphans
and the families, communities, and institutions most affected by
the HIV/AIDS epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa.
(c) Definition
In this section, the term "HIV/AIDS" means, with respect to an
individual, an individual who is infected with the human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the pathogen that causes the acquired
immune deficiency virus (AIDS), or living with AIDS.

Sec. 6812. African crisis response initiative and HIV/AIDS training
-STATUTE-
(a) Findings
Congress finds that -
(1) the spread of HIV/AIDS constitutes a threat to security in
Africa;
(2) civil unrest and war may contribute to the spread of the
disease to different parts of the continent;
(3) the percentage of soldiers in African militaries who are
infected with HIV/AIDS is unknown, but estimates range in some
countries as high as 40 percent; and
(4) it is in the interests of the United States to assist the
countries of Africa in combating the spread of HIV/AIDS.
(b) Education on the prevention of the spread of AIDS
In undertaking education and training programs for military
establishments in African countries, the United States shall ensure
that classroom training under the African Crisis Response
Initiative includes military-based education on the prevention of
the spread of AIDS.
