The US is set to spend $50bn to battle HIV/Aids in the next five years, reports BBC.
“The US House of Representatives has passed a bill to more than triple government spending in Africa and other badly affected parts of the world. The bipartisan measure, which is backed by the White House, was passed by 308 votes to 116. The bill marks a huge increase from the $15bn authorised during the first five years of an initiative launched by President Bush in 2003.”
