Clinton's speech prioritizing creation of 'Aids-free generation' may shape future of U.S. global health strategy, analysts say

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's November 8 speech at the NIH, in which she called for the creation of an "AIDS-free generation" through the use of combination prevention strategies, "could be more than just political lip-service: it may also shape the next several years of U.S. global health programming and funding, analysts say," PlusNews reports. "'It's the first time the U.S. has outlined a policy goal on how to reach an AIDS-free generation,' explained Jennifer Kates," vice president and director of Global Health & HIV Policy at the Kaiser Family Foundation, the news service writes. "Natasha Bilimoria, president of the Friends of the Global Fight Against AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, ... says she hopes Clinton's 'incredibly strong message' will be backed by strong funding commitments for the next financial year," the news service writes (11/14).
