An international fund has pledged more than $115 million to fight AIDS in India.

The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria says the money will be used to buy medication and spread awareness about the illness.

About 2.5 million people in India are infected with the virus.

Financed mainly by the United States and Europe, the fund has also given the Indian government a further $60 million to fight malaria.
