President Bush pledged to the nation with the world's highest AIDS infection rate that it will have a strong partner in his administration in fighting the disease. "You will not face this enemy alone," he said Thursday. Bush's remarks were greeted with chants of "Pula! Pula!," which means "all good things" in Botswana. But even as he was delivering the pledge, his USD 15 billion, five-year AIDS program was being trimmed in Congress. And U.S. officials acknowledged that even with aggressive prevention and treatment programs - like those in Botswana - progress in turning the tide against the disease has been excruciatingly slow. More than 38 percent of Botswana's adult population is infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. And although Bush described Botswana as being in the forefront of African countries in dealing with the epidemic, the nation's infection rate has remained level since 2001.
