The death of HIV -ai AIDS could be globally increasing due to American help freezing, UN | says HIV/AIDS news
US President Donald Trump put almost all the US side aid at the forefront of duties.
The day could be 2,000 new HIV infections, and a tenfold increase in related deaths, perhaps in millions in years to come, if the financing of frozen by the United States is not renewed or replaced, the United Nation AIDS said.
U.S. President Donald Trump put almost all the side of his assistance on his duty on January 20th. Days later, the US State Ministry announced that HIV’s rescue work would continue in accordance with the President’s Emergency Plan (Pepfar).
However, health financing disorder and impact on broader services have had an devastating impact on people living with HIV/AIDS, the UNAIDS CEO of Winnie Byanyima in Geneva said on Monday.
“This sudden withdrawal of US funds has excluded many clinics, eliminating thousands of health workers … All this means we expect to see new infections. Unaids estimated that we could see 2,000 new infections every day,” said.
She added that if the Financing of the US Agency for International Development (USAID) does not continue at the end of the 90-day break, in April, or has not been replaced by another government: “In the next four years, there will be an additional 6.3 million AIDS death.”
“We will see that they come back and we will see people die as we saw them in the 90s and 2000s,” she said.
Byanyima said that the numbers are based on the UN modeling, but no longer gave the details of how the assessments were achieved.
According to the latest data, there were 600,000 deaths associated with AIDS in the 2023 world.
Unaids, which coordinates the global response to the prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS, has received $ 50 million of fundamental financing from the US last year, which is 35 percent of the UN Budget.
Trump’s administration has announced that financing is frozen to ensure that it is in accordance with the presidential policy of “America’s First”. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio rejected the concern that Washington ended the side of help, saying that the renunciations were provided for life rescue services.
Trump team members say that they saved US taxpayers of tens of billions of dollars with rapid moves to cancel contracts, fire workers and exploitation of fraud and wastewater exploitation, although they offered little evidence to support the claim.
