Congress finds that—
(1) the spread of HIV/AIDS constitutes a threat to security in Africa;
(2) civil unrest and war may contribute to the spread of the disease to different parts of the continent;
(3) the percentage of soldiers in African militaries who are infected with HIV/AIDS is unknown, but estimates range in some countries as high as 40 percent; and
(4) it is in the interests of the United States to assist the countries of Africa in combating the spread of HIV/AIDS.
In undertaking education and training programs for military establishments in African countries, the United States shall ensure that classroom training under the African Crisis Response Initiative includes military-based education on the prevention of the spread of AIDS.
