The U.S. Strategy asserts that policies and programs will be "evidence-based." Our review of the Strategy arrives at two basic conclusions. One is that the prevention strategy is crafted more to cater to the ideological agenda of the Administration's "base"-the far political and evangelical right-than it is to meet the urgent prevention needs of the
millions of people now at risk of infection throughout the world. The second is that the treatment agenda is based far more on the interests of pharmaceutical companies than on the urgent needs for access to ARVS of the millions already suffering from AIDS. Thus, the Strategy does not meet the test set out by the President himself when he committed to a global HIV/AIDS
effort that would "create a cycle of hope and promise that will benefit millions."
