WHO expresses deep concern about the implications of the immediate funding pause for #HIV programmes in low- and middle-income countries. These programmes provide access to life-saving HIV therapy to more than 30 million people worldwide. A funding halt for HIV programmes can put people living with HIV at immediate increased risk of illness and death and undermine efforts to prevent transmission in communities and countries. Such measures, if prolonged, could lead to rises in new infections and deaths, reversing decades of progress and potentially taking the world back to the 1980s and 1990s when millions died of HIV every year globally, including many in the United States of America. For the global community, this could result in significant setbacks to progress in partnerships and investments in scientific advances that have been the cornerstone of good public health programming, including innovative diagnostics, affordable medicines, and community delivery models of HIV care. We call on the Government of the United States of America to enable additional exemptions to ensure the delivery of lifesaving HIV treatment and care. Read more bit.ly/42yxxIz

Boundaries.

#HIV-related stigma prevent some people from accessing #healthcare and HIV services. For every one person who had a negative experience in healthcare related to their HIV status, there are even more people who will avoid it because of that.
