- As Pakistan’s monsoon arrives, people with HIV worry
Pakistan's monsoon floods in 2025 disrupted access to HIV antiretroviral therapy for patients, as contaminated floodwaters damaged infrastructure and cut off villages. Over 1,000 lives were lost, 3 million displaced, and HIV-positive individuals faced heightened risks due to limited medication access and stigma. Free antiretroviral treatment centers remain operational, but recurring floods and rising HIV cases amplify concerns.
