Following the announcements of AIDS strategies from her two Democratic rivals Barack Obama and John Edwards, Hillary Clinton is expected to reveal today in South Carolina her policy on fighting the epidemic both at home and abroad (nytimes.com, 11/27).
Like Obama and Edwards, Clinton plans to spend $50 billion on fighting HIV/AIDS globally by 2013. She would also double funding for research at the National Institutes of Health, resulting in an annual fund of $5.2 billion. Obama and Edwards also plan to increase this funding.

"I am psychologically suffering from body wasting, mainly hips, face, legs and arms. Does anyone know where I can order something (maybe underwear with foam) to fill the sunken hips, so that pants can start looking normal?
