Why didn’t he announce a program that would call for annual increases because obviously we’re going to have increased need over time?
You know, I can’t answer what went in the mind of the president except to tell you that it is our hope, and I think it’s a reasonable hope, that we got over the first barrier—it was renewed. A successful program was renewed. It was renewed at more than what the original one was and even more than what the original turned out to be. It shouldn’t be interpreted that over the next five years we’re going to double the amount that we did in the last year of PEPFAR 1. It will double the amount that was originally—it doesn’t come out in real dollars to be double what was in the last year. So I hope as we get to the second, third, fourth and fifth year of PEPFAR 2 we’re going to follow the same trajectory as we did in PEPFAR 1. That at the end of that five-year period there’ll be more than 30 billion dollars. I hope it is the case and I think it will be. What about the goals though? The stated goal of PEPFAR 1 was to treat 2 million people by the end of the five years—it missed that goal subst
