US cuts HIV treatment aid to Lesotho Chud AFFzLMXd 10/17/25 (Fri) 02:42:09 №15941 [Quote]

Lesotho, which met UN HIV targets in 2024 largely due to U.S. PEPFAR funding, now faces clinic closures and 1500 health worker layoffs following the Trump administration's February 2025 aid freeze amid America's $37.88 trillion debt. Thousands of patients in the landlocked nation, where HIV affects 18.5% of adults, have lost access to antiretrovirals, with officials warning of rising infections and deaths as bridge funding expires. The government is seeking alternative donors like the Global Fund to bridge the gap left by the cuts.
