- US HIV funding withdrawal from South Africa could cost lives, UNAIDS warns
The US withdrawal of HIV funding from South Africa could cost lives, according to a warning from UNAIDS. South Africa has the world's largest HIV burden, with approximately eight million people living with the virus.
- South Africa to raise health funding cuts at UN meeting
South Africa will address global health aid declines at a UN HIV/AIDS meeting amid U.S. cuts to its $8 billion PEPFAR program, which has been reduced by 75% and now provides a $115 million stopgap until 2026. The funding reduction threatens HIV treatment in South Africa, the country with the world's largest HIV population, and has prompted the government to develop a self-reliance plan while seeking alternative funding at the UN meeting.
