Background The expanding HIV AIDS epidemic represents one of the greatest threats to human health and international development today and strengthening the global response is imperative. Despite recent progress in expanding access to HIV AIDS treatment 1 the world continues to severely under-invest in efforts to fight HIV AIDS missing a tremendous opportunity to change the course of the epidemic by bringing proven treatment and prevention interventions to scale. Nowhere is the need for an expanded response more apparent - and the potential impact greater - than in efforts to prevent the spread of new infections. In 2005 alone nearly 5 million people worldwide became infected with HIV and today more than 40 million people are living with HIV more than in any previous year 2 . Although extensive studies have shown the effectiveness of numerous strategies for preventing the transmission of HIV 3 new infections continue to occur at alarming rates because proven tools are not being used. Fewer than one in five people at high risk for HIV have access to effective prevention 4 and funding for prevention programs is woefully inadequate 5 . There is also an urgent need to increase research funding .
