HIV/AIDS

That this House recognises that HIV/AIDS is a huge obstacle to poverty eradication in the developing world; notes that 58 million people worldwide are currently living with AIDS; further notes that last year, nearly five million people became infected with HIV, 2.9 million died from AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa alone and around 12 million children have lost one or both parents to AIDS; fully supports the millennium development goal to begin to reverse the spread of HIV/AIDS; notes that that goal must be central to any poverty reduction strategy and must be made an integral priority during 2005, the UK's presidency of the EU and the G8; and further calls on the Government to act on the recommendations of the National Audit Office in its Report of Session 2003-04, Responding to HIV/AIDS, HC664, to improve its response to this crisis.
