My wife works with international HIV/AIDS programs, and they call PEPFAR Bush's only success. It has terrible things in it, like the abstinence-only education you mention, but it provides a significant amount of money for infrastructure, health workers, etc., and represents a serious increase in commitment by the United States. It has obvious faults, but don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
