Trump's AIDS Funding Cuts Risk Global Setback
A research report warns that the cuts approved by U.S. President Donald Trump's administration to funding for HIV/AIDS programs have caused widespread disruptions in dozens of countries, leading to the closure of hundreds of clinics and the dismissal of over 16,000 staff members. This threatens to reverse the progress made over more than two decades in combating the epidemic. The study revealed that more than half of the beneficiary organizations lost at least one grant, resulting in setbacks in prevention and treatment efforts, and increasing the risk of a resurgence of the epidemic to more dangerous levels. The relief program is one of the largest global health initiatives and has helped save over 26 million people since its launch in 2003. The report warns that ongoing disruptions could undermine these important gains in fighting the virus.
