The article discusses the impact of drastic cuts to US aid funding on global efforts to eliminate HIV, a goal that seemed achievable just a year ago. With the Trump administration canceling 83% of foreign aid contracts and dismantling USAid, many essential HIV-prevention programs in sub-Saharan Africa have faced disruption. Experts warn that this could lead to a significant rise in infections and deaths, reversing years of progress and putting millions at risk, emphasizing the need for new, sustainable health service approaches less dependent on foreign aid.
"The abrupt cuts to US aid funding have cast uncertainty on the ambitious goal of virtually eliminating HIV, which seemed within reach just a year ago."
"The dismantling of USAid and cancellation of contracts jeopardizes the progress made over the years, putting lives at risk and increasing infections dramatically."
