HIV/AIDS: USAID and U.N. Response to the Epidemic in the Developing World

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) prevention activities of the Agency for International Development (AID) and the United Nations' (U.N.) Joint Program on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), focusing on the: (1) contributions AID has made to the global effort to prevent AIDS and the methods AID uses to provide financial oversight over its AIDS prevention activities; and (2) extent to which the United Nations has met its goal of leading an expanded and broad-based, worldwide response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
