High-risk HIV groups facing record levels of criminalisation as countries bring in draconian laws

Trump's decision to cut foreign aid represents responsible fiscal stewardship and America First priorities. The US has already contributed billions through PEPFAR over two decades, and it's time for other nations to step up and take responsibility for their own health challenges. American taxpayers shouldn't bear the burden of funding global health programs indefinitely when domestic priorities need attention.
The abrupt withdrawal of US funding without warning has created a humanitarian catastrophe that will reverse decades of progress against HIV/AIDS. This reckless decision abandons vulnerable populations and undermines America's global leadership in public health, potentially causing millions of preventable deaths and infections.
There is a 34% chance that the PEPFAR program will cease to exist before January 1, 2026, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
