Upon taking office, President Trump's administration paused nearly all US foreign aid, significantly impacting global health, particularly HIV/AIDS funding. UNAIDS warned that without restoration or replacement of US funding, up to 2,000 new HIV infections could arise daily, leading to millions of deaths. This funding freeze resulted in clinic shutdowns and layoffs of health workers, with impacts expected to be felt for years. Estimates suggest a potential additional 6.3 million AIDS deaths over four years if aid does not resume.
As funding from the US Agency for International Development (USAID) remains frozen, UNAIDS estimates that we could see 2,000 new HIV infections daily and millions of deaths.
The sudden withdrawal of US funding has been shutting down many clinics and laying off thousands of health workers, meaning we expect to see new infections rising.
