Abstract
The projected increases in aid for HIV/AIDS-related initiatives, combined with aid directed at achieving other Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), is likely to mean a rapid scale-up in development assistance for many countries currently experiencing high HIV/AIDS infection rates. The prospect of this potentially rapid scale-up elicits a sense of trepidation in many of these countries because it portends the possibility of macroeconomic instability and/or Dutch Disease effects that may undermine growth.
