How much does the US government spend on AIDS related programs? Please
include most recent numbers as possible.  Please also include sources
with links.
I'm looking specifically for the government output, and not the
charity or corporate amounts.  They are listed as seperate questions.

Hello Fmckostraff,


According to the CRS Report for Congress, Federal government AIDS
spending is estimated at $19.7 billion in FY2005.

?65% is for treatment programs; research receives 15%; income support programs
receive 10%; and prevention programs receive 10%. The government-wide request
level for FY2006 is $21.1 billion. AIDS programs within the Department
of Health and Human Services (HHS) account for 75% of the total amount
spent on HIV/AIDS by the federal government. Funding for HIV/AIDS
research, prevention and treatment programs within the HHS
discretionary budget has increased from
$200,000 in FY1981 to an estimated $6.27 billion in FY2005; the
administration?s request for FY2006 is $6.28 billion. Funding for
HIV/AIDS treatment within HHS entitlement programs has increased from
$10 million in FY1983 to an estimated $8.6 billion in FY2005.
Entitlement spending depends on the number of HIV/AIDS cases that
qualify; the estimate for FY2006 is $9.5 billion for HIV/AIDS
treatment within HHS entitlement programs.?
