TORONTO,
Canada, Aug. 16 (Xinhua) -- The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is in
final-stage talks with China to sign a memorandum of understanding that would
provide help to China in its campaign against HIV/AIDS.
Spokeswoman Jacquelline Fuller told Xinhua via phone
on Wednesday that the foundation, headed by Gates, the world's richest man, and
his wife, was close to reaching a landmark agreement to start an AIDS initiative
in China.
However, the final funding decision for China has not
yet been made, Fuller, who is in Toronto for the International AIDS Conference,
said, adding that the money would mainly be used to finance AIDS prevention
among the high-risk groups in China. Enditem
