If I could just add as well, in addition to the very high sero prevalence, particularly among adolescent girls in sub-Saharan Africa, there is another serious concern. That is the very high levels of HIV among certain concentrated populations, particularly men who have sex with men, gay men, and transsexual populations in some Asian countries. We see sero prevalence levels of 15% to 25%.
In many cases, in the countries we're talking about, populations are criminalized. This is the situation in Uganda and a number of other African countries. The Global Fund is literally the only source of funding for organizations in those countries that are working to counter the devastatingly high levels of HIV. Nigeria just passed some very repressive legislation, but the Global Fund has been able to work out an understanding with the government that this is a serious health issues, in addition to a human rights issue.
I was just in Vietnam with a group of Australian MPs. We met with people from the LGBT community who said the same thing, that this is the first time that they have actually had an opportunity to do peer education through programs that were supported by the Global Fund. Minister Bibeau was in Vietnam and had an opportunity to meet with some of those folks as well. That is another area, and you are absolutely right that the gender issue is critically important, but we also want to make sure that human rights are respected across the board.
