I already know everything I need to know about AIDS prevention.


In this country, it's a completely preventable venereal disease. From that same report:

In addition to the amounts in the table above for AIDS research, another $11 Billion is budgeted for housing, care and cash assistance to AIDS patients, and $1 Billion for prevention. Separate from that, the US has committed to spending $50 Billion on global AIDS. From 1981 to 2005 our country had spent $170 Billion on AIDS and has continued spending $20 Billion + per year since then, including $24 billion in the 2009 budget. Taking into consideration those expenditures, plus the $50 billion budgeted for Global HIV/AIDS and the total AIDS expenditures are approaching one-third of a Trillion dollars, or 310 Billion.
