HIV prevention, treatment, care and support.

States should increase their national budget allocations for measures promoting secure and sustainable access to affordable HIV prevention, treatment, care and support, at both the domestic and international levels. States should, among other steps, make contributions, in proportion to their resources, to mechanisms such as the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. Developed countries should make concrete commitments of increased official developmentassistance that will move them without delay towards meeting international targets to which they have agreed, paying particular attention to assistance in realizing access to health-care goods, services and information.
States should ensure that international and bilateral mechanisms for financing responses to HIV/AIDS provide funds for prevention, treatment, care and support, including the purchase of antiretroviral and other medicines, diagnostics and related technologies। States should support and implement policies maximizing the benefit of donor assistance, including policies ensuring that such resources are used to purchase generic medicines, diagnostics and related technologies, where these are more economical। Creditor countries and international financing institutions should implement debt relief for developing countries more quickly and extensively, and should ensure that resources provided for this purpose do not detract from those made available for official development assistance. Developing countries should use the resources freed up by debt relief (as well as other sources of development finance) in a manner that fully takes into account their obligations to respect, protect and fulfil rights related to health. States should, among other things, dedicate an appropriate proportion of such resources, in the light of domestic conditions, priorities and internationally agreed commitments, to HIV prevention, treatment, care and support.Creditor countries and international financing institutions should implement debt relief for developing countries more quickly and extensively, and should ensure that resources provided for this purpose do not detract from those made available for official development assistance.
