Former U.S. President Bill Clinton said the U.S. and other countries need to reform their health- care systems to reach the most high-risk groups for AIDS, which have been neglected over the past quarter century.
The U.S. government has failed to prevent the virus in blacks, who account for half of new infections, he said today at the International AIDS Conference in Mexico City. In Africa, 30 percent of babies born to mothers with HIV are infected with the virus, though drugs could cut the risks to less than 2 percent. He said his foundation will increase its work to reduce the infection rates.
"AIDS is a very big dragon. The mythological dragon was slain by Saint George, the original knight in shining armor, but this dragon must be slain by millions and millions of foot soldiers," he told activists gathered at the 17th International AIDS Conference in Mexico City.
About 56,300 people in the U.S. contract HIV each year, 40 percent more than previously expected, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported July 29. Hardest hit are blacks, of whom 500,000 are infected.
`Wake-Up Call'
``For Americans, this should be a wake-up call that even as we keep working globally we need to do much more to fight AIDS at home, and I intended to do so with my foundation,'' Clinton said.
Clinton's foundation has worked to reduce the cost of drugs by 50 percent and help more than 1 million people get access to care. Its budget for international AIDS relief is almost as large as the U.S. government's budget was for those programs during his administration.
