Excerpt from the 2006 Sustainability Review:

Some 2.4 million people in the region are living with HIV/AIDS, with another 500,000 infected each year. In 2004, the Bank introduced its Guidelines for HIV/AIDS and Reproductive Health Projects to help Bank staff address this threat more effectively in Bank projects. In 2006, the Bank approved five technical cooperation grants for projects dealing with HIV/AIDS, for a total value of $583,340. The emphasis in many of these projects is increased attention to prevention, particularly among youth and vulnerable populations, such as commercial sex workers and men who have sex with men. However, continued analysis of the AIDS epidemic and AIDS treatment options in the region is also important. In the future, the Bank will fund a study of how the Central American Free Trade Agreement has affected the affordability of AIDS drugs in the area.
