It further compares the public funding investments of the USA government and European governments including the EU as we expect the two groups to invest differently in HIV prevention options because their policies on sexual and reproductive health and rights are different. We use two existing officially UN endorsed databases to compare the public donor funding streams for HIV prevention of these two distinct contributors. In the period 2000-2008 the relative share of public funding for integrated condom programming dropped significantly while that for research on vaccines and microbicides increased. The European public donors gave a larger share to condom programming than the United States but exhibited a similar downward trend in favour of funding research on vaccines and microbicides. Both public donor parties invested progressively more in research on vaccines and microbicides rather than addressing the shortage of condoms and improving access to integrated condom programming in developing countries. Background The number of people living with HIV worldwide has continued to grow reaching million in 2008. In the same year million new HIV infections occurred almost half 45 among people younger than 25 years 1 . Despite a more than eight-fold increase of total global financing for fighting AIDS from billion US in 2001 to billion in 2008 a small fraction has gone to HIV prevention 2 .
