U.N. AIDS official worried by economic crisis

Paul DeLay, deputy executive director of UNAIDS, was speaking to the AP Thursday in Namibia at an international meeting on AIDS. He says countries receiving funding for HIV and AIDS programs need to identify priorities.

DeLay says that, of the US$25 billion needed to achieve universal access to prevention methods, care, drugs and counseling by 2010, only US$14 billion had been raised for low and middle income countries.
