The United Nations AIDS agency warns that Trump's decision to suspend U.S. funding for Pepfar, the world’s largest AIDS control program, could lead to a drastic rise in HIV infections and deaths, potentially causing 6.3 million AIDS-related fatalities in the next five years. With many African countries, including Nigeria, relying heavily on U.S. contributions for HIV/AIDS programs, the funding freeze has caused disruption, particularly in hospitals where medication supplies are running low. While some hope for a return of U.S. funding, countries like Nigeria are exploring alternatives, including plans to produce retroviral drugs domestically.
