New Vision (Kampala) - November 6, 2001

David Hermon, an official with the HIV/AIDS Training Programme for African Defence Forces, said the money was for projects aimed at preventing HIV/AIDS infection among the military.
Speaking during an HIV/AIDS dialogue on the American Embassy Television Network on Thursday, Hamon said the project was already running in 11 African countries. He said the project would be expanded to six other countries soon. "We couldn't have programmes everywhere," he said.
Katherine Crawford from the Global Health Bureau of USAID said countries that do not directly benefit from the project can apply for grants to implement HIV/AIDS prevention in their armies.
