SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Section 2 of the United States Leadership Against HIV/AIDS, 
Tuberculosis, and Malaria Act of 2003 (22 U.S.C. 7601) is amended by 
adding at the end the following:
            ``(29) The HIV/AIDS pandemic continues to pose a major 
        threat to the health of the global community, from the most 
        severely-affected regions of sub-Saharan Africa and the 
        Caribbean, to the emerging epidemics of Eastern Europe, Central 
        Asia, South and Southeast Asia, and Latin America.
            ``(30) According to UNAIDS' 2007 global estimates, there 
        are 33.2 million individuals with HIV/AIDS worldwide, including 
        2.5 million people newly-infected with HIV. Of those infected 
        with HIV, 2.5 million are children under 15 who also account 
        for 460,000 of the newly-infected individuals.
            ``(31) Sub-Saharan Africa continues to be the region most 
        affected by the HIV/AIDS pandemic. More than 68 percent of 
        adults and nearly 90 percent of children with HIV/AIDS live in 
        sub-Saharan Africa, and more than 76 percent of AIDS deaths in 
        2007 occurred in sub-Saharan Africa.
            ``(32) Although sub-Saharan Africa carries the heaviest 
        disease burden of HIV/AIDS, the HIV/AIDS pandemic continues to 
        affect virtually every world region. While prevalence rates are 
        relatively low in Eastern Europe, Central Asia, South and 
        Southeast Asia, and Latin America, without effective prevention 
        strategies, HIV prevalence rates could rise quickly in these 
        regions.
            ``(33) By world region, according to UNAIDS' 2007 global 
        estimates--
                    ``(A) in sub-Saharan Africa, there were 22.5 
                million adults and children infected with HIV, up from 
                20.9 million in 2001, with 1.7 million new HIV 
                infections, a 5 percent prevalence rate, and 1.6 
                million deaths;
                    ``(B) in South and Southeast Asia, there were 4 
                million adults and children infected with HIV, up from 
                3.5 million in 2001, with 340,000 new HIV infections, a 
                0.3 percent prevalence rate, and 270,000 deaths;
                    ``(C) in East Asia, there were 800,000 adults and 
                children infected with HIV, up from 420,000 in 2001, 
                with 92,000 new HIV infections, a 0.1 percent 
                prevalence rate, and 32,000 deaths;
                    ``(D) in Eastern and Central Europe, there were 1.6 
                million adults and children infected with HIV, up from 
                630,000 in 2001, with 150,000 new HIV infections, a 0.9 
                percent prevalence rate, and 55,000 deaths; and
                    ``(E) in the Caribbean, there were 230,000 adults 
                and children infected with HIV, up from 190,000 in 
                2001, with 17,000 new HIV infections, a 1 percent 
                prevalence rate, and 11,000 deaths.
            ``(34) Tuberculosis is the number one killer of individuals 
        with HIV/AIDS and is responsible for up to one-half of HIV/AIDS 
        deaths in Africa.
            ``(35) The wide extent of drug resistant tuberculosis, 
        including both multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and 
        extensively drug resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB), driven by the 
        HIV/AIDS pandemic in sub-Saharan Africa, has hampered both HIV/
        AIDS and tuberculosis treatment services. The World Health 
        Organization (WHO) has declared the prevalence of tuberculosis 
        to be at emergency levels in sub-Saharan Africa.
            ``(36) Forty percent of the world's population, mostly 
        poor, live in malarial zones, and malaria, which is highly 
        preventable, kills more than 1 million individuals worldwide 
        each year. Ninety percent of malaria's victims are in sub-
        Saharan Africa and 70 percent of malaria's victims are children 
        under the age of 5. Additionally, hunger and malnutrition kill 
        another 6 million individuals worldwide each year.
            ``(37) Assistance to combat HIV/AIDS must address the 
        nutritional factors associated with the disease in order to be 
        effective and sustainable. The World Food Program estimates 
        that 6.4 million individuals affected by HIV will need 
        nutritional support by 2008.
            ``(38) Women and girls continue to be vulnerable to HIV, in 
        large part, due to gender-based cultural norms that leave many 
        women and girls powerless to negotiate social relationships.
            ``(39) Women make up 50 percent of individuals infected 
        with HIV worldwide. In sub-Saharan Africa, where the HIV/AIDS 
        epidemic is most severe, women make up 57 percent of 
        individuals infected with HIV, and 75 percent of young people 
        infected with HIV in sub-Saharan Africa are young women ages 15 
        to 24.
            ``(40) Women and girls are biologically, socially, and 
        economically more vulnerable to HIV infection. Gender 
        disparities in the rate of HIV infection are the result of a 
        number of factors, including the following:
                    ``(A) Cross-generational sex with older men who are 
                more likely to be infected with HIV, and a lack of 
                choice regarding when and whom to marry, leading to 
                early marriages and high rates of child marriages with 
                older men. About one-half of all adolescent females in 
                sub-Saharan Africa and two-thirds of adolescent females 
                in Asia are married by age 18.
                    ``(B) Studies show that married women and married 
                and unmarried girls often are unable or find it 
                difficult to negotiate the frequency and timing of 
                sexual intercourse, ensure their partner's 
                faithfulness, or insist on condom use. Under these 
                circumstances, women often run the risk of being 
                infected by husbands or male partners in societies 
                where men in relationships have more than one partner. 
                Behavior change is particularly important in societies 
                in which this is a common practice.
                    ``(C) Because young married women and girls are 
                more likely to have unprotected sex and have more 
                frequent sex than their unmarried peers, and women and 
                girls who are faithful to their spouses can be placed 
                at risk of HIV/AIDS through a husband's infidelity or 
                prior infection, marriage is not always a guarantee 
                against HIV infection, although it is a protective 
                factor overall.
                    ``(D) Social and economic inequalities based 
                largely on gender limit access for women and girls to 
                education and employment opportunities and prevent them 
                from asserting their inheritance and property rights. 
                For many women, a lack of independent economic means 
                combines with socio-cultural practices to sustain and 
                exacerbate their fear of abandonment, eviction, or 
                ostracism from their homes and communities and can 
                leave many more women trapped within relationships 
                where they are vulnerable to HIV infection.
                    ``(E) A lack of educational opportunities for women 
                and girls is linked to younger sexual debut, earlier 
                childhood marriage, earlier childbearing, decreased 
                child survival, worsening nutrition, and increased risk 
                of HIV infection.
                    ``(F) High rates of gender-based violence, rape, 
                and sexual coercion within and outside marriage 
                contribute to high rates of HIV infection. According to 
                the World Health Organization, between one-sixth and 
                three-quarters of women in various countries and 
                settings have experienced some form of physical or 
                sexual violence since the age of 15 within or outside 
                of marriage. Women who are unable to protect themselves 
                from such violence are often unable to protect 
                themselves from being infected with HIV through forced 
                sexual contact.
                    ``(G) Fear of domestic violence and the continuing 
                stigma and discrimination associated with HIV/AIDS 
                prevent many women from accessing information about 
                HIV/AIDS, getting tested, disclosing their HIV status, 
                accessing services to prevent mother-to-child 
                transmission of HIV, or receiving treatment and 
                counseling even when they already know they have been 
                infected with HIV.
                    ``(H) According to UNAIDS, the vulnerability of 
                individuals involved in commercial sex acts to HIV 
                infection is heightened by stigmatization and 
                marginalization, limited economic options, limited 
                access to health, social, and legal services, limited 
                access to information and prevention means, gender-
                related differences and inequalities, sexual 
                exploitation and trafficking, harmful or non-protective 
                laws and policies, and exposure to risks associated 
                with commercial sex acts, such as violence, substance 
                abuse, and increased mobility.
                    ``(I) Lack of access to basic HIV prevention 
                information and education and lack of coordination with 
                existing primary health care to reduce stigma and 
                maximize coverage.
                    ``(J) Lack of access to currently available female-
                controlled HIV prevention methods, such as the female 
                condom, and lack of training on proper use of either 
                male or female condoms.
                    ``(K) High rates of other sexually transmitted 
                infections and complications during pregnancies and 
                childbirth.
                    ``(L) An absence of functioning legal frameworks to 
                protect women and girls and, where such frameworks 
                exist, the lack of accountable and effective 
                enforcement of such frameworks.
            ``(41) In addition to vulnerabilities to HIV infection, 
        women in sub-Saharan Africa face a 1-in-13 chance of dying in 
        childbirth compared to a 1-in-16 chance in least-developed 
        countries worldwide, a 1-in-60 chance in developing countries, 
        and a 1-in-4,100 chance in developed countries.
            ``(42) Due to these high maternal mortality rates and high 
        HIV prevalence rates in certain countries, special attention is 
        needed in these countries to help HIV-positive women safely 
        deliver healthy babies and save women's lives.
            ``(43) Unprotected sex within or outside of marriage is the 
        single greatest factor in the transmission of HIV worldwide and 
        is responsible for 80 percent of new HIV infections in sub-
        Saharan Africa.
            ``(44) Multiple randomized controlled trials have 
        established that male circumcision reduces a man's risk of 
        contracting HIV by 60 percent or more. Twelve acceptability 
        studies have found that in regions of sub-Saharan Africa where 
        circumcision is not traditionally practiced, a majority of men 
        want the procedure. Broader availability of male circumcision 
        services could prevent millions of HIV infections not only in 
        men but also in their female partners.
            ``(45)(A) Youth also face particular challenges in 
        receiving services for HIV/AIDS.
            ``(B) Nearly one-half of all orphans who have lost one 
        parent and two-thirds of those who have lost both parents are 
        ages 12 to 17. These orphans are in particular need of services 
        to protect themselves against sexually-transmitted infections, 
        including HIV.
            ``(C) Research indicates that many youth benefit from full 
        disclosure of medically accurate, age-appropriate information 
        about abstinence, partner reduction, and condoms. Providing 
        comprehensive information about HIV, including delay of sexual 
        debut and the ABC model: `Abstain, Be faithful, use Condoms', 
        and linking such information to health care can help improve 
        awareness of safe sex practices and address the fact that only 
        1 in 3 young men and 1 in 5 young women ages 15 to 24 can 
        correctly identify ways to prevent HIV infection.
            ``(D) Surveys indicate that no country has succeeded in 
        fully educating more than one-half of its youth about the 
        prevention and transmission of HIV.
            ``(46) According to the United Nations High Commissioner 
        for Refugees (UNHCR), HIV/AIDS prevalence rates among refugees 
        are generally lower than the HIV/AIDS prevalence rates for 
        their host communities, though perceptions run counter to this 
        fact. However, peacekeeping operations that no longer deploy 
        HIV/AIDS-positive troops still face vulnerabilities to sexual 
        transmission of HIV with HIV-positive individuals in refugee 
        camps. Host countries generally do not provide HIV/AIDS 
        prevention, treatment, and care services for refugees.
            ``(47) Continuing progress to reach the millions of 
        impoverished individuals who need voluntary testing, 
        counseling, treatment, and care for HIV/AIDS requires increased 
        efforts to strengthen health care delivery systems and 
        infrastructure, rebuild and expand the health care workforce, 
        and strengthen allied and support services in countries 
        receiving United States global HIV/AIDS assistance.
            ``(48) While HIV/AIDS poses the greatest health threat of 
        modern times, it also poses the greatest development challenge 
        for developing countries with fragile economies and weak public 
        financial management systems that are ill equipped to shoulder 
        the burden of this disease. International donors will have to 
        play a critical role in providing resources for HIV/AIDS 
        programs far into the future.
            ``(49) The emerging partnerships between countries most 
        affected by HIV/AIDS and the United States must include 
        stronger coordination between HIV/AIDS programs and other 
        United States foreign assistance programs, and stronger 
        collaboration with other donors in the areas of economic 
        development and growth strategies.
            ``(50) The future control of HIV/AIDS demands coordination 
        between international organizations such as the Global Fund to 
        Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, UNAIDS, the World Health 
        Organization (WHO), the World Bank and the International 
        Monetary Fund (IMF), the international donor community, 
        national governments, and private sector organizations, 
        including community and faith-based organizations.
            ``(51) The future control of HIV/AIDS further requires 
        effective and transparent public finance management systems in 
        developing countries to advance the ability of such countries 
        to manage public revenues and donor funds aimed at combating 
        HIV/AIDS and other diseases.
            ``(52) The HIV/AIDS pandemic contributes to the shortage of 
        health care personnel through loss of life and illness, unsafe 
        working conditions, increased workloads for diminished staff, 
        and resulting stress and burnout, while the shortage of health 
        care personnel undermines efforts to prevent and provide care 
        and treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS.
            ``(53) The shortage of health care personnel, including 
        doctors, nurses, pharmacists, counselors, laboratory staff, 
        paraprofessionals, trained lay workers, and researchers is one 
        of the leading obstacles to combating HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan 
        Africa.
            ``(54) Since 2003, important progress has been made in 
        combating HIV/AIDS, yet there is more to be done. The number of 
        new HIV infections is still increasing at an alarming rate. 
        According to the United States National Institute of Allergy 
        and Infectious Diseases, globally, for every 1 individual put 
        on antiretroviral therapy, 6 individuals are newly infected 
        with HIV.
            ``(55) The United States Government continues to be the 
        world's leader in the fight against HIV/AIDS and the 
        unsurpassed partner with developing countries in their efforts 
        to control this disease.
            ``(56) By September 2007, the United States, through the 
        United States Leadership Against HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and 
        Malaria Act of 2003 (22 U.S.C. 7601 et seq.), had provided 
        services to prevent mother-to-child-transmission of HIV to 
        women during 10 million pregnancies; provided antiretroviral 
        prophylaxis for women during over 827,300 pregnancies; 
        prevented an estimated 157,240 HIV infections in infants; cared 
        for over 6.6 million individuals, including over 2.7 million 
        orphans and vulnerable children; supported lifesaving 
        antiretroviral therapies for approximately 1.4 million men, 
        women, and children in sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, and the

                    (A) Support for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS,

                achievement of the following benchmarks related to 
                transparency and accountability:
                            (i) As recommended by the Government 
                        Accountability Office, the Fund Secretariat has 
                        established standardized expectations for the 
                        performance of Local Fund Agents (LFAs), is 
                        undertaking a systematic assessment of the 
                        performance of LFAs, and is making available 
                        for public review, according to the Fund 
                        Board's policies and practices on disclosure of 
                        information, a regular collection and analysis 
                        of performance data of Fund grants, which shall 
                        cover both Principal Recipients and sub-
                        recipients.
                            (ii) A well-staffed, independent Office of 
                        the Inspector General reports directly to the 
                        Board and is responsible for regular, publicly 
                        published audits of both financial and 
                        programmatic and reporting aspects of the Fund, 
                        its grantees, and LFAs, including both 
                        Principal Recipients and sub-recipients.
                            (iii) The Fund Secretariat has established 
                        and is reporting publicly on standard 
                        indicators for all program areas.
                            (iv) The Fund Secretariat has established a 
                        database that tracks all subrecipients and the 
                        amounts of funds disbursed to each, as well as 
                        the distribution of resources, by grant and 
                        Principal Recipient, for prevention, care, 
                        treatment, the purchases of drugs and 
                        commodities, and other purposes.
                            (v) The Fund Board has established a 
                        penalty to offset tariffs imposed by national 
                        governments on all goods and services provided 
                        by the Fund.
                            (vi) The Fund Board has successfully 
                        terminated its Administrative Services 
                        Agreement with the World Health Organization 
                        and completed the Fund Secretariat's transition 
                        to a fully independent status under the 
                        Headquarters Agreement the Fund has established 
                        with the Government of Switzerland.
                    (B) Support for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, 
                Tuberculosis and Malaria should be based upon 
                achievement of the following benchmarks related to the 
                founding principles of the Fund:
                            (i) The Fund must maintain its status as a 
                        financing institution.
                            (ii) The Fund must remain focused on 
                        programs directly related to HIV/AIDS, malaria, 
                        and tuberculosis.
                            (iii) The Fund must maintain its 
                        Comprehensive Funding Policy, which requires 
                        confirmed pledges to cover the full amount of 
                        new grants before the Board approves them.
                            (iv) The Fund must maintain and make 
                        progress on sustaining its multisectoral 
                        approach, through Country Coordinating 
                        Mechanisms (CCMs) and in the implementation of 
                        grants, as reflected in percent and resources 
                        allocated to different sectors, including 
                        governments, civil society, and faith- and 
                        community-based organizations.
            (4) Sense of congress.--Congress--
                    (A) notes that section 625 of Public Law 110-161 
                establishes a requirement to withhold 20 percent of 
                funds appropriated for the Global Fund if the Global 
                Fund fails to meet certain benchmarks; and
                    (B) will continue to review the implementation of 
                the benchmarks to ensure accountability and 
                transparency of the Global Fund.

              STRENGTHENING HEALTH POLICIES AND HEALTH SYSTEMS OF HOST 
              COUNTRIES.

    ``(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            ``(1) One of the most significant barriers to achieving 
        universal access to HIV/AIDS treatment and prevention in 
        developing countries is the lack of health infrastructure, 
        particularly in sub-Saharan Africa.
            ``(2) In addition to HIV/AIDS programs, other treatable and 
        preventable infectious diseases could be treated concurrently 
        and easily if health care delivery systems in developing 
        countries were significantly improved.
            ``(3) More public investment in basic primary health care 
        should be a priority in public spending in developing 
        countries.
    ``(b) Statement of Policy.--It shall be the policy of the United 
States Government--
            ``(1) to invest appropriate resources authorized under this 
        Act and the amendments made by this Act to carry out activities 
        to strengthen HIV/AIDS health policies and health systems and 
        provide workforce training and capacity-building consistent 
        with the goals and objectives of this Act and the amendments 
        made by this Act; and
            ``(2) to support the development of a sound policy 
        environment in host countries to increase the ability of such 
        countries to maximize utilization of health care resources from 
        donor countries, deliver services to the people of such host 
        countries in an effective and efficient manner, and reduce 
        barriers that prevent recipients of services from achieving 
        maximum benefit from such services.
    ``(c) Plan Required.--The Coordinator of United States Government 
Activities to Combat HIV/AIDS Globally, in collaboration with the 
Administrator of the United States Agency for International 
Development, shall develop and implement a plan to combat HIV/AIDS by 
strengthening health policies and health systems of host countries as 
part of the United States Agency for International Development's 
`Health Systems 2020' project. Recognizing that human and institutional 
capacity form the core of any health care system that can sustain the 
fight against HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria, the plan shall 
include a strategy to encourage postsecondary educational institutions 
in host countries, particularly in Africa, in collaboration with United 
States postsecondary educational institutions, historically black 
colleges and universities, to develop such human and institutional 
capacity and in the process further build their capacity to sustain the 
fight against these diseases.
    ``(d) Assistance To Improve Public Finance Management Systems.--
            ``(1) In general.--The Secretary of the Treasury, acting 
        through the head of the Office of Technical Assistance, is 
        authorized to provide assistance for advisors and host country 
        finance, health, and other relevant ministries to improve the 
        effectiveness of public finance management systems in host 
        countries to enable such countries to receive funding to carry 
        out programs to combat HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria and 
        to manage such programs.
            ``(2) Authorization of appropriations.--Of the amounts 
        authorized to be appropriated under section 401 for HIV/AIDS 
        assistance, there are authorized to be appropriated to the 
        Secretary of the Treasury such sums as may be necessary for 
        each of the fiscal years 2009 through 2013 to carry out this 
        subsection.''.

of the United States Leadership Against HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and 
Malaria Act of 2003 (22 U.S.C. 7631) is amended--

            ``(1) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
                    ``(A) The United States provides more than 60 
                percent of all food assistance worldwide.
                    ``(B) According to the United Nations World Food 
                Program and other United Nations agencies, food 
                insecurity of individuals with HIV/AIDS is a major 
                problem in countries with large populations of such 
                individuals, particularly in sub-Saharan African 
                countries.
                    ``(C) Individuals infected with HIV have higher 
                nutritional requirements than individuals who are not 
                infected with HIV, particularly with respect to the 
                need for protein. Also, there is evidence to suggest 
                that the full benefit of therapy to treat HIV/AIDS may 
                not be achieved in individuals who are malnourished,

                individuals, their families, and their communities that 
                must be addressed by United States HIV/AIDS prevention,

                begin an antiretroviral medication treatment regimen, 
                the efficacy of an antiretroviral medication treatment

        by striking paragraphs (1) and (2) and inserting the following:
            ``(1) Tuberculosis is one of the greatest infectious causes 
        of death of adults worldwide, killing 1.6 million individuals 
        per year--one person every 20 seconds.
            ``(2) Tuberculosis is the leading infectious cause of death 
        among individuals who are infected with HIV due to their 
        weakened immune systems, and it is estimated that one-third of 
        such individuals have tuberculosis. Tuberculosis is also a 
        leading killer of women of reproductive age.
            ``(3) Driven by the HIV/AIDS pandemic, incidence rates of 
        tuberculosis in sub-Saharan Africa have more than doubled on 
        average since 1990. The problem is so pervasive that in August 
        2005, African health ministers and the World Health 
        Organization (WHO) declared tuberculosis to be an emergency in 
        sub-Saharan Africa.
            ``(4)(A) The wide extent of drug resistance, including both 
        multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and extensively drug 
        resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB), represents both a critical 
        challenge to the global control of tuberculosis and a serious 
        worldwide public health threat.
            ``(B) XDR-TB, which is a form of MDR-TB with additional 
        resistance to multiple second-line anti-tuberculosis drugs, is 
        associated with worst treatment outcomes of any form of 
        tuberculosis.
            ``(C) XDR-TB is converging with the HIV/AIDS epidemic, 
        undermining gains in HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment programs 
        and requires urgent interventions.
            ``(D) Drug resistance surveillance reports have confirmed 
        the serious scale and spread of tuberculosis, with XDR-TB 
        strains confirmed on six continents.
            ``(E) Demonstrating the lethality of XDR-TB, an initial 
        outbreak in Tugela Ferry, South Africa, in 2006 killed 52 of 53 
        patients with hundreds more cases reported since that time.
            ``(F) Of the world's regions, sub-Saharan Africa, faces the 
        greatest gap in capacity to prevent, treat, and care for 
        individuals with XDR-TB.''.
            (2) Policy.--Subsection (b) of such section is amended to 
        read as follows:
    ``(b) Policy.--It is a major objective of the foreign assistance 
program of the United States to control tuberculosis. In all countries 
in which the Government of the United States has established 
development programs, particularly in countries with the highest burden 
of tuberculosis and other countries with high rates of tuberculosis, 
the United States Government should prioritize the achievement of the 
following goals by not later than December 31, 2015:
            ``(1) Reduce by one-half the tuberculosis death and disease 
        burden from the 1990 baseline.
            ``(2) Sustain or exceed the detection of at least 70 
        percent of sputum smear-positive cases of tuberculosis and the 
        cure of at least 85 percent of such cases detected.''.
            (3) Activities supported.--Such section is further 
        amended--
                    (A) by redesignating subsections (d) through (f) as

        diagnosis to rule out multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-
        TB) and extensively drug resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) and 
        provide HIV/AIDS voluntary counseling and testing to 
        individuals with any form of tuberculosis.
            ``(2) Provide tuberculosis treatment to individuals 
        receiving treatment and care for HIV/AIDS who have active 
        tuberculosis and provide prophylactic treatment to individuals 
        with HIV/AIDS who also have a latent tuberculosis infection.
            ``(3) Link individuals with both HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis 
        to HIV/AIDS treatment and care services, including 
        antiretroviral therapy and cotrimoxazole therapy.
            ``(4) Ensure that health care workers trained to diagnose, 
        treat, and provide care for HIV/AIDS are also trained to 
        diagnose, treat, and provide care for individuals with both 
        HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis.

        tuberculosis are provided a culture diagnosis, including drug 
        susceptibility testing to rule out multi-drug resistant

        health workers through loss of life and illness among medical 
        staff, unsafe working conditions for medical personnel, and 
        increased workloads for diminished staff, while the shortage of 
        health personnel undermines efforts to prevent and provide care 
        and treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS.

        professionals and paraprofessionals, and the factors forcing 
        such individuals to leave sub-Saharan Africa, will undermine 
        the objectives of United States development policy and will 
        subvert opportunities to achieve internationally-recognized 
        goals for the prevention, treatment, and care of HIV/AIDS and 
        other diseases, the reduction of child and maternal mortality,

                Development Goals and universal access to HIV/AIDS 
                prevention, treatment, and care. In particular, such

                at least 2.3 doctors, nurses, and midwives per 1,000 
                population, and additional health workers such as

the United States to ensure to expand the capacity of the health 
workforce engaged in HIV/AIDS programming in ways that contribute to, 
and do not detract from, the capacity of countries to meet other health 
needs, particularly child survival and maternal health.
    ``(c) Safety for Health Workers.--It is the sense of Congress that 
the United States should ensure that all health workers participating 
in programs that receive assistance under this Act and the amendments 
made by this Act have the proper training to create safe and sanitary 
working conditions in accordance with universal precautions and other 
forms of infection prevention and control.
    ``(d) Health Care for Health Workers.--The Coordinator of United 
States Government Activities to Combat HIV/AIDS Globally shall ensure 
that comprehensive and confidential health services shall be provided 
to all health workers participating in programs that receive assistance 
under this Act and the amendments made by this Act, including--

              INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS.

    ``(a) Coordination Within the United States Government.--The 
Coordinator of United States Government Activities to Combat HIV/AIDS 
Globally shall work with the Secretary of the Treasury to reform 
International Monetary Fund macroeconomic and fiscal policies that 
result in limitations on national and donor investments in health.
    ``(b) Position of the United States at the Imf.--The Secretary of 
the Treasury shall instruct the United States Executive Director at the 
International Monetary Fund to use the voice, vote, and influence of 
the United States to oppose any loan, project, agreement, memorandum, 
instrument, plan, or other program of the International Monetary Fund 
that does not exempt increased government spending on health care from 
national budget caps or restraints, hiring or wage bill ceilings, or 
other limits sought by any international financial institution.

              CHAIN MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS.

Activities to Combat AIDS Globally shall work with the Partnership for 
Supply Chain Management Systems, host countries, and nongovernmental 
organizations to develop effective, reliable host country-owned and 
operated public-sector procurement and supply chain management systems, 
including regional distribution, with ongoing technical assistance and 
sustained support to ensure the function of such systems, as well as 
the function of existing non-public sector supply chains, including 
those operated by faith-based and other humanitarian organizations that 
procure and distribute medical supplies.
    ``(b) Availability of Equipment and Supplies.--The public-sector 
procurement and supply chain management systems developed pursuant to 
subsection (a) should ensure that adequate laboratory equipment and 
supplies commonly needed to fight HIV/AIDS, including diagnostic tests 
for CD4 and viral load counts, x-ray machines, mobile and facility-
based rapid HIV test kits and other necessary assays, reagents and 
basic supplies such as sterile syringes and gloves, are available and 
distributed in a manner that is accessible to urban and rural 
populations.
    ``(c) Drug Registration.--The Coordinator shall work with host 
country partners and development partners to support efficient and 
effective drug approval and registration systems that allow expeditious 
access to safe and effective drugs, including antiretroviral drugs.
    ``(d) Report.--The Coordinator shall submit to the appropriate 
congressional committees an annual report on the implementation of this 
section, including progress toward specific benchmarks established by 
the Partnership for Supply Chain Management Systems, and the projection 
of when host countries can fully sustain their own procurement and 
supply chain management and distribution systems at a scale necessary 
for national primary health needs.
