Although the Bush administration has indicated it will not rescind Clinton's executive order, it has yet to articulate a plan to combat AIDS in Africa - or propose significant new money to fund it. The recent trade complaint filed by the United States against Brazil could also hurt the drive for cheaper drugs if it is upheld by the World Trade Organization. Brazil's success in making its own generic AIDS drugs and distributing them free to its citizens could come unraveled, eliminating what has been an example for African countries eager to do the same. To have more impact, the activists also want to broaden their support base. They recently forged an alliance with the Gray Panthers - and hope that other senior groups will follow suit.
