    the Trust Fund, acting through the Board of Trustees, should provide 
    only grants, including grants for technical assistance to support 
    measures to build local capacity in national and local government, 
    civil society, and the private sector to lead and implement 
    effective and affordable HIV/AIDS prevention, education, treatment 
    and care services, and research and development activities, 
    including access to affordable drugs.

                      (2) Activities supported

        Among the activities the Trust Fund should provide grants for 
    should be--
            (A) programs to promote the best practices in prevention, 
        including health education messages that emphasize risk 
        avoidance such as abstinence;
            (B) measures to ensure a safe blood supply;
            (C) voluntary HIV/AIDS testing and counseling;
            (D) measures to stop mother-to-child transmission of HIV/
        AIDS, including through diagnosis of pregnant women, access to 
        cost-effective treatment and counseling, and access to infant 
        formula or other alternatives for infant feeding;
            (E) programs to provide for the support and education of 
        AIDS orphans and the families, communities, and institutions 
        most affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic;
            (F) measures for the deterrence of gender-based violence and

        against AIDS and related infections.

              (3) Implementation of program objectives

    HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), the International Partnership Against AIDS in 
    Africa, other international organizations, the private sector, and 
    donor agencies working to combat the HIV/AIDS crisis.
