MORE FUNDS WOULD CUT HIV INFECTION, UN STUDY SAYS

More Spending could halve the number of new HIV infections
worldwide,according to a U.N. study presented at a San Francisco AIDS
conference.

"We know what works. We've shown it's effective. What we need now is the
money to implement them," said Martha Butler de Lister, director of the
Dominican Republic AIDS organization Fundacion Genesis. "We can't wait for
a vaccine."

The result could be achieved if affluent governments, corporations and
individuals dug deeper and spent 10 to 15 times more on global prevention
programs, said the U.N. study presented at this week's University of
California, San Francisco, conference.
