A decline in funding for #HIV response could result in millions of preventable new infections and deaths, with up to 120 000 of these deaths affecting children according to World Health Organization #OMS #WHO
International cooperation is essential to sustain the advances we’ve made in HIV prevention, testing and treatment.
Is he actually trying to kill everyone?
If his goal was to kill everyone, I can't see what it is that he would do differently.
Does anyone know what RFK's endgame is, or even whether it is thought he has an end game?
Shouldn't we be calling all the senators who confirmed him, and asking them what are they going to do now?
“Tuberculosis is so often, and in so many ways, a disease of vicious cycles: It's an illness of #poverty that worsens poverty. It's an illness that worsens other illnesses from #HIV to #diabetes. It's an illness of weak #healthcare systems that weakens healthcare systems. It's an illness of malnutrition that worsens malnutrition. And it's an illness of the stigmatized that worsens #stigmatization. In the face of all this, it's easy to despair.” (p. 159)
Via Dave Levitan:
Per a source with knowledge, the entire #HHS Office of #InfectiousDisease & #HIV / #AIDS Policy, or #OIDP, was just fired.
This breaks my heart.
The Trump/Musk regime want to take us back to the days of HIV/AIDS "killing all the right people" with MAGA Republicans cheering on the virus.

"Every year, my colleagues and I put together a list of what we think are the top 10 breakthrough technologies of that year. When it came to innovations in biotech, there was a clear winner: lenacapavir, a drug that was found to prevent #HIV infections in 100% of the women and girls who received it in a clinical trial."

"HIV hilfs uns doch, Schwule gibt es immer noch..." rufen die Nazischweine da.
to be honest: Ich hatte unterschätzt, wie schnell wir #HIV-Positiven ins Fadenkreuz des neuen #Faschismus geraten würden: offensichtlich werden erst einmal die "Randgruppen" unter den #Queers angegriffen (#trans; Sexarbeiter*innen; Positive).
Ihr wisst, wie's dann weitergeht...
The Wall Street Journal reported that the U.S. #government is also considering cutting domestic #HIV prevention programs, which threatens to undo twenty years of efforts to fight the virus.
Valeriia feels the familiar tendrils of fear through her body as she walks into the hospital for her routine checkup.
Her #HIV diagnosis is no longer a death sentence – one jar of pills means another month of life-saving medication.

#HIV could infect 1,400 #infants every day because of #US aid disruptions
Survey data suggests that over a third of organizations that relied on US funding for HIV services had already closed by February. In an #executiveorder issued January 20, President Donald Trump paused new #foreignaid funding to global #health programs, and four days later, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued a stop-work order on existing foreign aid assistance.

Crap. Moderna et al will have to move their research to Europe.
