| Résumé anglais |
The paper argues that the United States has unwittingly created a new global “entitlement” to US-funded AIDS treatment that currently costs about $2 billion per year and could grow to as much as $12 billion a year by 2016 – more than half of what the United States spent on total overseas development assistance in 2006. And the AIDS treatment entitlement would continue to grow, squeezing out spending on HIV prevention measures or on other critical development needs, all of which would be considered “discretionary” by comparison.JEL Classification: I12, I18, O15.
