Freeze on HIV spending sparks concern in Africa

KAMPALA (AFP) – A US decision to freeze spending on treatment for HIV in several African countries has prompted concern that some of the gains made against the AIDS epidemic since 2003 could be reversed.

President George W. Bush?s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), launched in 2003, focused largely on treating patients in urgent need of medicine, but the new US administration?s programme has shifted away from emergency treatment.

"George W. Bush is a hero in this country," said Peter Mugyenyi, who heads Uganda?s Joint Clinical Research Centre, a leading AIDS treatment clinic.

Uganda received 929 million dollars (678 million euros) from PEPFAR between 2003-2008 and used much of those funds to provide some 150,000 people with Antiretroviral therapy.

But the US switch in emphasis means that clinics are now being forced to turn new patients away.

"We had drugs under PEPFAR. We didn?t have to turn patients away," he told AFP.

While PEPFAR expanded access to medicine, new HIV infections rose.

So, when PEPFAR was up for renewal the new administration of President Barack Obama demanded greater focus on preventing new infections.

I have always stated that this kind of aid was one of 3 good things that Bush did while in office for 8 years.
 
What a waste of fucking money, I can never understand why we piss away taxpayer money on foreign countries. Think if we stopped sending all aid, support and money to foreign governments and spent it all on the American people.

Bono was forced to acknowledge that Bush programs gave more for AIDS than anyone else ever had. Later, after Obama's election, he made an ass out of himself by getting on the bash Bush bandwagon...I'll bet he would like to have the Bush AIDS policies back in place.

You have to go to an African country to find someone who loves your boy and your politics. Classic, and the cartoon is rightious.

That's absolutely idiotic. Bono has never displayed an ideological or partisan bone when it comes to Africa. He even spent a lot of time (and became friends with) Jesse Helms.

"Was forced to acknowledge" - what a buffoon you are....
 
Miss Me Yet?!!

George W. Bush is back...in billboard form. Hovering over I-35 near Wyoming, Minn., is an ominous/how'd-anyone-take-him-seriously pic of the former president with the question, "Miss Me Yet?"

There have been no reports as to who is behind the billboard. For all we know Bush put it up after finding a picture of himself as he was about to catch a hamburger at a barbecue. (via NPR)

Now, progressives and liberals upset that anyone would find 8 years of George W. Bush preferable to one of Barack Hussein Obama are on a mission to find out who put it up.

I miss him, about as much as a scorching case of the clap! signal

On this issue, I give Bush credit... He did a great job with HIV research funding.
