Resolved: That the United States should withhold future increases in HIV/AIDS assistance from countries that impede prevention
Fault Lines in Global Health Debate
Our third debate in our year-long series, Fault Lines in Global Health, has been rescheduled for January 13th. The topic is,
Resolved: That the United States should withhold future increases in HIV/AIDS assistance from countries with laws or policies that impede effective HIV prevention. Conversely, the United States should expand its HIV/AIDS assistance to countries that reform their laws or policies to reduce stigma and enhance protection.
Phil Nieburg of CSIS will affirm the resolution. Chris Collins of amfAR will respond. Noted health expert and correspondent Susan Dentzer, editor-in-chief of Health Affairs, will moderate the debate.

In the past decade, global health has become a new U.S. foreign policy priority, enjoyed exceptional bipartisan support, and climbed to an annual U.S. government investment of $10 billion, fully a third of all U.S. foreign assistance. In this same period, several complex and polarizing issues have gained momentum. They defy easy solutions, divide and fragment constituencies, and impede progress. In the midst of ever tighter budgets and heightened scrutiny of investments, these controversies can corrode consensus and have serious downstream implications: in terms of strategy, core values, policy coherence and the allocation of future dollars.
The Fault Lines in Global Health series is intended to generate an informed, civil, bipartisan, and open airing of opinion on these critical global health controversies. Video of our first two debates is available at: http://www.smartglobalhealth.org/faultlines.
