Summary:
The Administration's FY2003 request for international HIV/AIDS spending would boost funding for the bilateral programs of the U.S. Agency for International Development but hold constant spending by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of the Department of Health and Human Services. Funds have not been requested for some international programs funded in FY2002, although $200 million has been requested for a contribution to the Global Fund to Fight HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria the same amount being provided in FY2002. Appropriations bills reported in the Senate would provide approximately $170 million more for international HIV/AIDS activities than the Administration's request.
