focus on high risk populations to fight aids says clinton

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spoke new funding to help create an AIDS-free generation on July 23 at the 19^th International AIDS Conference in Washington, D.C. In her remarks, she said it was possible to virtually eliminate HIV-infected births and the U.S. is donating $80 million in new funding to help poor countries reach that goal. Politico reported treating HIV-infected women so that they protect their babies is a key part of the Obama administration's goal of an AIDS-free generation. Clinton said that the new money will help get those life-saving drugs to women who now slip through the cracks. Clinton also said the U.S. is investing millions more to study what works best to protect the highest-risk population in hard hit countries— female sex workers, gay and bisexual men, and injecting drug users
