WASHINGTON (AP) - The State Department said Wednesday the U.S. worldwide AIDS relief program is helping more than 42 million people prevent sexual transmission of the disease. However, a key member of Congress said the program falls short.
"People are alive today because the United States has turned its words into action," the second annual report to Congress says.
But Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Calif., who co-authored the legislation that launched the program, said, "While this report shows some advances, the rate of progress is inadequate to meet either the needs for treatment and prevention or the commitment we set out."
