SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) During the last 20 years, HIV/AIDS has assumed pandemic 
        proportions, spreading from the most severely affected region, 
        sub-Saharan Africa, to all corners of the world, and leaving an 
        unprecedented path of death and devastation.
            (2) According to the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/
        AIDS (UNAIDS), more than 60,000,000 people worldwide have been 
        infected with HIV since the epidemic began; more than 
        22,000,000 of these have lost their lives to the disease; and 
        more than 13,000,000 children have been orphaned by the 
        disease. HIV/AIDS is the fourth-highest cause of death in the 
        world.
            (3) At the end of 2001, an estimated 40,000,000 people were 
        infected with HIV or living with AIDS. Of these, more than 
        2,700,000 were children under the age of fifteen and more than 
        17,600,000 were women. Women are four times more vulnerable to 
        infection than are men and are becoming infected at 
        increasingly high rates because in many societies women lack 
        control over sexual encounters and cannot insist on the use of 
        protective measures. Women and children who are refugees or are 
        internally displaced persons are especially vulnerable to 
        sexual violence, thereby increasing the possibility of HIV 
        infection.
            (4) As the leading cause of death in sub-Saharan Africa, 
        AIDS has killed more than 17,000,000 people (more than 3 times 
        the number of AIDS deaths in the rest of the world) and will 
        claim the lives of one-quarter of the population, mostly 
        adults, in the next decade.
            (5) An estimated 1,800,000 people in Latin America and the 
        Caribbean and another 7,100,000 people in Asia and the Pacific 
        region are infected with HIV or living with AIDS. Infection 
        rates are rising alarmingly in Eastern Europe (especially in 
        the Russian Federation), Central Asia, and China.
            (6) HIV/AIDS threatens personal security by affecting the 
        health, lifespan, and productive capacity of the individual and 
        the social cohesion and economic well-being of the family.
            (7) HIV/AIDS undermines the economic security of a country 
        and individual businesses in that country by weakening the 
        productivity and longevity of the labor force across a broad 
        array of economic sectors and by reducing the potential for 
        economic growth over the long term.
            (8) HIV/AIDS destabilizes communities by striking at the 
        most mobile and educated members of society, many of whom are 
        responsible for security at the local level and governance at 
        the national and subnational levels as well as many teachers, 
        health care personnel, and other community workers vital to 
        community development and the effort to combat HIV/AIDS. In 
        some countries the overwhelming challenges of the HIV/AIDS 
        epidemic are accelerating the outward migration of critically 
        important health care professionals.
            (9) HIV/AIDS weakens the defenses of countries severely 
        affected by the HIV/AIDS crisis through high infection rates 
        among members of their military forces. According to UNAIDS, in 
        sub-Saharan Africa, many military forces have infection rates 
        as much as five times that of the civilian population.
            (10) HIV/AIDS poses a serious security issue for the 
        international community by--
                    (A) increasing the potential for political 
                instability and economic devastation, particularly in 
                those countries and regions most severely affected by 
                the disease; and
                    (B) decreasing the capacity to resolve conflicts 
                through the introduction of peacekeeping forces because 
                the environments into which these forces are introduced 
                pose a high risk for the spread of HIV/AIDS.
            (11) The devastation wrought by the HIV/AIDS pandemic is 
        compounded by the prevalence of tuberculosis and malaria, 
        particularly in developing countries where the poorest and most 
        vulnerable members of society, including women, children, and 
        those living with HIV/AIDS, become infected. According to the 
        World Health Organization (WHO), HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and 
        malaria accounted for more than 5,700,000 deaths in 2001 and 
        caused debilitating illnesses in millions more.
            (12) Tuberculosis is the cause of death for one out of 
        every three people with AIDS worldwide and is a highly 
        communicable disease. HIV infection is the leading threat to 
        tuberculosis control. Because HIV infection so severely weakens 
        the immune system, individuals with HIV and latent tuberculosis 
        infection have a 100 times greater risk of developing active 
        tuberculosis diseases thereby increasing the risk of spreading 
        tuberculosis to others. Tuberculosis, in turn, accelerates the 
        onset of AIDS in individuals infected with HIV.
            (13) Malaria, the most deadly of all tropical parasitic 
        diseases, has been undergoing a dramatic resurgence in recent 
        years due to increasing resistance of the malaria parasite to 
        inexpensive and effective drugs. At the same time, increasing 
        resistance of mosquitoes to standard insecticides makes control 
        of transmission difficult to achieve. The World Health 
        Organization estimates that between 300,000,000 and 500,000,000 
        new cases of malaria occur each year, and annual deaths from 
        the disease number between 2,000,000 and 3,000,000. Persons 
        infected with HIV are particularly vulnerable to the malaria 
        parasite. The spread of HIV infection contributes to the 
        difficulties of controlling resurgence of the drug resistant 
        malaria parasite.
            (14) Although HIV/AIDS is first and foremost a health 
        problem, successful strategies to stem the spread of the 
        pandemic will require not only medical interventions, the 
        strengthening of health care delivery systems and 
        infrastructure and determined national leadership and increased 
        budgetary allocations for the health sector in countries 
        affected by the epidemic but also measures to address the 
        social and behavioral causes of the problem and its impact on 
        families, communities, and societal sectors.
            (15) Basic interventions to prevent new HIV infections and 
        to bring care and treatment to people living with AIDS, such as 
        voluntary counseling and testing and mother-to-child 
        transmission programs, are achieving meaningful results and are 
        cost-effective. The challenge is to expand these interventions 
        from a pilot program basis to a national basis in a coherent 
        and sustainable manner.
            (16) The magnitude and scope of the HIV/AIDS crisis demands 
        a comprehensive, long-term, international response focused upon 
        addressing the causes, reducing the spread, and ameliorating 
        the consequences of the HIV/AIDS pandemic, including--
                    (A) prevention and education, care and treatment, 
                basic and applied research, and training of health care 
                workers, particularly at the community and provincial 
                levels, and other community workers and leaders needed 
                to cope with the range of consequences of the HIV/AIDS 
                crisis;
                    (B) development of health care infrastructure and 
                delivery systems through cooperative and coordinated 
                public efforts and public and private partnerships;
                    (C) development and implementation of national and 
                community-based multisector strategies that address the 
                impact of HIV/AIDS on the individual, family, 
                community, and nation and increase the participation of 
                at-risk populations in programs designed to encourage 
                behavioral and social change and reduce the stigma 
                associated with HIV/AIDS; and
                    (D) coordination of efforts between international 
                organizations such as the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, 
                Tuberculosis and Malaria, the Joint United Nations 
                Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), the World Health 
                Organization (WHO), national governments, and private 
                sector organizations.
            (17) The United States has the capacity to lead and enhance 
        the effectiveness of the international community's response 
        by--
                    (A) providing substantial financial resources, 
                technical expertise, and training, particularly of 
                health care personnel and community workers and 
                leaders;
                    (B) promoting vaccine and microbicide research and 
                the development of new treatment protocols in the 
                public and commercial pharmaceutical research sectors;
                    (C) encouraging governments and community-based 
                organizations to adopt policies that treat HIV/AIDS as 
                a multisectoral problem affecting not only health but 
                other areas such as education, the economy, the family 
                and society, and assisting them to develop and 
                implement programs corresponding to these needs; and
                    (D) encouraging active involvement of the private 
                sector, including businesses, pharmaceutical and 
                biotechnology companies, the medical and scientific 
                communities, charitable foundations, private and 
                voluntary organizations and nongovernmental 
                organizations, faith-based organizations, community-
                based organizations, and other nonprofit entities.

                 TITLE II--PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS

SEC. 201. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Innovative partnerships between governments and 
        organizations in the private sector (including foundations, 
        universities, corporations, faith-based and community-based 
        organizations, and other nongovernmental organizations) have 
        proliferated in recent years, particularly in the area of 
        health.
            (2) Public-private sector partnerships multiply local and 
        international capacities to strengthen the delivery of health 
        services in developing countries and to accelerate research for 
        vaccines and other pharmaceutical products that are essential 
        to combat infectious diseases decimating the populations of 
        these countries.
            (3) These partnerships maximize the unique capabilities of 
        each sector while combining financial and other resources, 
        scientific knowledge, and expertise toward common goals which 
        neither the public nor the private sector can achieve alone.
            (4) Sustaining existing public-private partnerships and 
        building new ones are critical to the success of the 
        international community's efforts to combat HIV/AIDS and other 
        infectious diseases around the globe.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the sustainment and promotion of public-private 
        partnerships should be a priority element of the strategy 
        pursued by the United States to combat the HIV/AIDS pandemic 
        and other global health crises; and
            (2) the United States should systematically track the 
        evolution of these partnerships and work with others in the 
        public and private sector to profile and build upon those 
        models that are most effective.

            Subtitle B--Assistance for Children and Families

SEC. 411. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Approximately 2,000 children around the world are 
        infected each day with HIV through mother-to-child 
        transmission. Transmission can occur during pregnancy, labor, 
        and delivery or through breast feeding. Over ninety percent of 
        these cases are in developing nations with little or no access 
        to public health facilities.
            (2) Mother-to-child transmission is largely preventable 
        with the proper application of pharmaceuticals, therapies, and 
        other public health interventions.
            (3) The drug nevirapine, reduces mother-to-child 
        transmission by nearly 50 percent. Universal availability of 
        this drug could prevent up to 400,000 infections per year and 
        dramatically reduce the number of AIDS-related deaths.
            (4) At the United Nations Special Session on HIV/AIDS in 
        June 2001, the United States committed to the specific goals 
        with respect to the prevention of mother-to-child transmission, 
        including the goals of reducing the proportion of infants 
        infected with HIV by 20 percent by the year 2005 and by 50 
        percent by the year 2010, as specified in the Declaration of 
        Commitment on HIV/AIDS adopted by the United Nations General 
        Assembly at the Special Session.
            (5) Several United States Government agencies including the 
        United States Agency for International Development and the 
        Centers for Disease Control are already supporting programs to 
        prevent mother-to-child transmission in resource-poor nations 
        and have the capacity to expand these programs rapidly by 
        working closely with foreign governments and nongovernmental 
        organizations.
            (6) Efforts to prevent mother-to-child transmission can 
        provide the basis for a broader response that includes care and 
        treatment of mothers, fathers, and other family members that 
        are infected with HIV or living with AIDS.
            (7) HIV/AIDS has devastated the lives of countless children 
        and families across the globe. Since the epidemic began, an 
        estimated 13,200,000 children under the age of 15 have been 
        orphaned by AIDS, that is they have lost their mother or both 
        parents to the disease. The Joint United Nations Program on 
        HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) estimates that this number will double by the 
        year 2010.
            (8) HIV/AIDS also targets young people between the ages of 
        15 to 24, many of whom carry the burden of caring for family 
        members living with HIV/AIDS. An estimated 10,300,000 young 
        people are now living with HIV/AIDS. One-half of all new 
        infections are occurring among this age group.

SEC. 412. POLICY AND REQUIREMENTS.

    (a) Policy.--The United States Government's response to the global 
HIV/AIDS pandemic should place high priority on the prevention of 
mother-to-child transmission, the care and treatment of family members 
and caregivers, and the care of children orphaned by AIDS. To the 
maximum extent possible, the United States Government should seek to 
leverage its funds by seeking matching contributions from the private 
sector, other national governments, and international organizations.
    (b) Requirements.--The 5-year United States Government strategy 
required by section 101 of this Act shall--
            (1) provide for meeting or exceeding the goal set by the 
        United Nations General Assembly Declaration of Commitment on 
        HIV/AIDS to reduce the rate of mother-to-child transmission of 
        HIV by 20 percent by 2005 and by 50 percent by 2010;
            (2) include programs to make available testing and 
        treatment to HIV-positive women and their family members, 
        including drug treatment and therapies to prevent mother-to-
        child transmission; and
            (3) expand programs designed to care for children orphaned 
        by AIDS.

        Nations General Assembly at the Special Session for HIV/AIDS, 
        held June 25 to 27, 2001, with respect to mother-to-child 
        transmission of the HIV infection;
            (2) a description of efforts made by the United States 
        Agency for International Development and the Centers for 
        Disease Control and Prevention to expand those activities, 
        including--
                    (A) information on the number of sites supported

        activities to prevent mother-to-child transmission of the HIV 
        infection and, in the case of United States Agency for 
        International Development, whether or not its expenditures on 
        bilateral assistance have met the 8.3 percent target in section 
        104(c)(6)(D) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 
        2151b(c)(6)(D)), as in effect immediately before the date of 
        enactment of this Act, with respect to strategies to prevent 
        mother-to-child transmission of the HIV infection;
            (4) a discussion of the extent to which the programs of the 
        relevant Executive branch agencies are meeting targets set by 
        the United Nations General Assembly; and
            (5) a description of efforts made by the Centers for 
        Disease Control and Prevention and the United States Agency for 
        International Development to expand care and treatment services

                      TITLE V--BUSINESS PRINCIPLES

SEC. 501. PRINCIPLES FOR UNITED STATES FIRMS OPERATING IN COUNTRIES 
              AFFECTED BY THE HIV/AIDS PANDEMIC.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that the global spread of HIV/AIDS 
presents not only a health crisis but also a crisis in the workplace 
that affects--
            (1) the productivity, earning power, and longevity of 
        individual workers;
            (2) the productivity, competitiveness, and financial
