JOINT COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Sub-Committee on Overseas Development) debate -
Thursday, 29 Oct 2009

Business of Sub-Committee.

Apologies have been received from Deputy Timmins. The minutes of the previous meeting on 22 October have been circulated. Are they agreed? Agreed.

Before we commence, I would like to make the following correction. At last week's meeting Dr. Frans van den Boom representing the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative inadvertently gave incorrect epidemiological figures on the AIDS epidemic. He has asked that they be rectified at today's meeting. He said there were 7 million new HIV infections a year. However, the correct figure is approximately 7,400 new infections a day. In 2007, 2.7 million people were newly infected.
