Abstract

This Policy Forum reviews the literature on the impact of AIDS on selected MDGs, and explores the links between fighting AIDS and improving other development outcomes. It also considers the implications for developing country and donor investment strategies, arguing that expanded investment in HIV prevention—especially in new prevention tools including AIDS vaccines—is essential for attaining and upholding the MDGs.
