A look at key parts of the global AIDS bill

The global AIDS bill Congress is preparing to send President Bush would:

--Approve $48 billion over the next five years for HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria programs in Africa and other afflicted areas of the world. It also would approve $2 billion for American Indian health, water and law enforcement programs.

--Stipulate that 10 percent of funds are allocated for orphans and vulnerable children.

--Stipulate that "more than half" of funding for AIDS programs go for treatment and care.

--Reverse current law preventing HIV-infected people from receiving visas to come to the United States as immigrants, student or tourists.

Goals of the bill include:

--Preventing 12 million new HIV infections.

--Treating more than 2 million people. The existing act has provided some 1.7 million with anti-retroviral drugs.

--Supporting care for 12 million people infected with or affected by HIV/AIDS, including 5 million orphans and children.

--Training at least 140,000 new health care workers and paraprofessionals.
