Aid cuts have shaken HIV/Aids care to its core – and will mean millions more infections ahead

AI Summary

short article 1 min

Recent reports indicate that significant cuts in US, British, and European aid are severely impacting HIV/AIDS care, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. The funding reductions have led to clinic closures in Mozambique, a rise in AIDS-related deaths in Zimbabwe, and shortages of HIV testing kits in Ethiopia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. These disruptions are preventing people from accessing testing, treatment, and preventative care. Experts predict that these aid cuts could result in an estimated 3.3 million new HIV infections by 2030. The reports highlight the devastating consequences of reduced financial support on the global fight against HIV/AIDS as 2025 comes to an end.
