The Geneva-based Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria agreed this week to grant Haiti $24.7 million to combat AIDS, and it may disburse as much as $70 million over the next six years.
"It's going to make a dramatic impact," said Anil Soni of the Fund.
Last year, 30,000 Haitians died of AIDS, twice the number of those who died in the United States. Haiti suffers the worst AIDS epidemic outside of Africa.
