It's no surprise that Edwards and Obama want to boost foreign aid. They believe...
...Ashok Alexander, director of Avahan, the Indian AIDS program of the Gates Foundation, says that while "it's good news that overall the numbers are down, the real danger of this is it masks the real prevalence in one third of India: the south." The study, which leans heavily on the national health survey - itself is based upon face-to-face interviews with some 200,000 people between the ages of 15 and 54, more than half of them women - found that infection rates in southern India are significantly higher than in the north of the country.
