BYLINE:
Compiled from reports by Republic news services.
DATELINE: WASHINGTON
BODY:
Congress agreed Thursday to provide more than $1 billion a year for AIDS
prevention and treatment in a bill that for the first time factors in HIV
infection as well as full-blown AIDS cases in determining how federal money will
be distributed.
The legislation reauthorizes for five years the Ryan
White Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency Act, which expired
when the new fiscal year began Oct. 1. The House approved the measure by a 411-0
vote and the Senate by unanimous consent. It now goes to the president for his
signature.
The legislation approves $20 million a year for programs to
reduce HIV transmission from mother to child and $30 million for programs to
encourage those infected to notify their partners.
