HIV funds increase
The government is increasing the AusAID HIV/AID budget by $400 million in the Asia Pacific region. The money is for awareness and education which is interesting. I think that is good, but I find it interesting that there is no money there for prevention. If you are going to educate people on HIV and Sexually Transmitted Infections then you might want to have money so people can get needles and condoms. Unless of course the education is 100% abstinence based which has many issues.

Looks like my first report I read may of been a little off. From what I can work out the money is being spent better then it looked at first.

I came on to make a comment about my disgust at the misuse of the money and I was pleasently relieved. Thanks for that.
