The World Bank and USAID have, over the past two years, developed a forum to enable global thought leaders to debate major challenges in AIDS science, policy, and practice. To coincide with the 2012 International AIDS Conference, in collaboration with The Lancet, the World Bank and USAID will host the final debate on Monday, July 23, 2012, at 6:30 PM to address the following proposition:
