‘It’s back to drug rationing’: the end of #HIV was in sight. Then came the cuts. The abrupt halt to 🇺🇸 #USfunding threatens to undo decades of advances, dramatically ⬆️⬆️ infections and deaths, but some see an opportunity for #Africa to lead the response theguardian.com/global-develop…

A 51% drop in AIDS-related deaths since 2010 - proof of what global solidarity, investment, and expanded treatment access can achieve. But progress is at risk. Without full funding, the HIV response cannot deliver. The fight to #endAIDS must continue.

The US has been an incredible partner for UNAIDS Global, The Global Fund, working closely with PEPFAR. It is reasonable for them to want to reduce funding over time, but this sudden withdrawal of lifesaving support is having a devastating impact. news.un.org/en/story/2025/…
