In my visits to Africa, I have seen firsthand
the devastating toll that HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases
have taken and continue to take on the people of this continent.
A pandemic of this magnitude - which threatens human health,
social cohesion, political stability, and economic productivity
- demands a meaningful international response. I have worked
hard in the Senate across party lines to raise awareness of
the AIDS pandemic and to ensure that the U.S. is devoting
significant resources to battling this devastating crisis
I also am co-chair of the Center for
Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) Task
Force on HIV/AIDS, which aggressively seeks sound bipartisan
approaches to eliminate, prevent and treat the pandemic of
global HIV/AIDS.
