Poor Countries Adapt to U.S. AIDS Funding Cuts Amid Ongoing HIV Challenges
Since 2011, the U.S. increased its share of foreign aid for AIDS from 58% to 81%, but policy changes under Donald Trump disrupted funding, causing clinic closures and drug supply issues in poorer countries. Despite these challenges, activists and researchers are adapting with new drug developments and a focus on potential cures. The 26th International AIDS Conference in Rio highlighted Brazil's successful free antiretroviral access, while many African nations face ongoing resource constraints amid high HIV/AIDS mortality and infection rates.
