Government and civil society representatives meet for a Special Session of the General Assembly of the United Nations (UNGASS) 25 to 27 June 2001 to consider an expanded response to HIV/AIDS. This policy forum estimates that by 2005, that response will require about US$9 billion annually, with half of these resources needed in sub-Saharan Africa. About US$4.8 billion is required for prevention including interventions focusing on youth, workplace programs, mother-to-child transmission and condom distribution. US$4.4 billion is needed for palliative care, treatment and prophylaxis of opportunistic infections, support for orphans, and antiretroviral therapy. One-third to one-half of these resources can come from domestic sources, both public and private, with the remainder needed from international sources.

B. Schwartländer and N. Walker are in the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), Geneva, Switzerland. J. Stover, L. Bollinger, W. McGreevey, and S. Forsythe are at The Futures Group International, Washington, DC 20036, USA. J. P. Gutierrez, M. Opuni, and S. Bertozzi are at the National Institute of Public Health, Cuernavaca, Mexico. L. Kumaranayake and C. Watts are in the Department of Public Health and Policy, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, London, UK.
