Access to HIV treatment in remote South African villages has drastically declined due to US aid cuts. Patients like Nozuko Majola and Nozuko Ngaweni highlight their fears of losing medication, which was once delivered to their homes. The US government's funding, crucial for combating HIV/AIDS in South Africa, notably decreased, jeopardizing the health of millions. Experts warn that these cuts could result in over 500,000 deaths in the next decade. Trump's administration initiated a pause on foreign aid, causing significant repercussions for healthcare in Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly affecting vulnerable populations.
"We used to get the drugs delivered to our homes, but since Donald Trump announced he was cutting aid, the drugs have stopped coming."
"When I heard that the US had canceled its aid, I felt like I was dying... I have medication for this month, but what comes after?"
