"Hillary Clinton will commit $50 billion for global HIV/AIDS by 2013, which will help ensure universal access to treatment, prevention and care. Hillary will double the number of people receiving AIDS treatments through U.S. programs.
She will also work to strengthen partnerships with faith-based groups and other non-governmental organizations that have been a critical in helping to address HIV around the world."

Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee refused to retract a statement he made in 1992 calling for the isolation of AIDS patients. Responding to an Associated Press questionnaire, Huckabee said steps should be taken to "isolate the carriers of this plague" during his failed run for a U.S. Senate seat from Arkansas in 1992.
Huckabee did not explain how individuals with HIV would have been isolated.
