Global Health : Spending Requirement Presents Challenges for Allocating Prevention Funding under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief

The U.S. Leadership Against HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, & Malaria Act of 2003 authorizes the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) & promotes the ABC model (Abstain, Be faithful, or use Condoms). It recommends that 20% of funds appropriated pursuant to the act be spent on prevention & requires that, starting in FY2006, 33% of prevention funds appropriated pursuant to the act be spent on abstinence-until-marriage. The Office of the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator is responsible for administering PEPFAR. This report reviewed PEPFAR prevention funds, described PEPFAR's strategy to prevent sexual HIV transmission, & examined related challenges. Includes recommendations.
