What Trump's funding cuts mean for the fight against HIV/AIDS in Africa | DW News
Why have African countries been so good at combatting HIV? A new UN-AIDS report highlights amazing progress in the fight against the virus since 2010. And sub-Saharan Africa leads that progress. It has achieved a 56 percent reduction in new HIV infections - the steepest drop globally.Drill down into the detail and you find countries that are beacons of hope. They have managed to ensure that most people living with HIV know their status and are getting the drugs they need, so the virus in their bodies is under control in countries like Botswana, Es-watini, Lesotho, Namibia, Rwanda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe
But that progress has been uneven. Of all the people in the world who need anti-HIV medication but are not getting it, almost half of them are in the sub-Saharan countries where so much progress has been made.
Much of that progress was due to one of America's most successful exports: PEPFAR, the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief. Since it was launched in 2003, it is estimated to have saved 25 million lives, mostly in sub-Saharan Africa.
But now that's under dire threat: US President Donald Trump announced a freeze in funding earlier this year. What might that mean if it were made permanent?
