§ Mr. HanleyThe figures reflect bilateral, and attributable multilateral, funding on activities of which the primary focus is to improve sexual health, addressing sexually transmitted infection, HIV and AIDS. It 55W underestimates the UK's overall contribution to HIV/AIDS projects and programmes. Figures for 1995–96 are not yet available. In 1996–97, the Overseas Development Administration expects to spend around £10 million on activities that help to reduce the risk of people of developing countries being infected with HIV, and contribute to a better quality of life for those people who are affected by HIV and AIDS.
