India already has 5 million AIDS cases - and Africa is heading toward a generation of AIDS orphans. Ten years ago, many people in the United States thought of AIDS as a man's disease. Now we know better. For African American women, the story is even worse. If you're an African American woman, you're almost 20 times more likely to have AIDS than a Caucasian woman.
Different countries have different needs - and, frankly, different capabilities.
So our approach is to make the solution fit the problem. It means setting a national goal of finding an AIDS vaccine by 2007. And it's why President Clinton is proposing a one billion dollar tax credit for companies that develop vaccines for TB, malaria, AIDS and other infectious diseases. The credit will have the effect of lowering the cost of vaccines for non-profits. I mentioned that breast cancer is the second leading cancer killer of women.
