A global HIV resurgence is possible now that Donald Trump has paused a life-saving HIV aid program that distributes treatment worldwide.
Since taking office, Trump has set his sights on slashing federal aid and assistance, both foreign and domestic. One of his first Executive Orders ordered a 90-day pause on funding for foreign programs, including the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), which has saved tens of millions of lives worldwide. Several days later, the United States Office of Management and Budget abruptly dropped a late-night memo on Americans, revealing that, in less than a day, almost all domestic federal aid programs would be frozen while Trump reviewed them to ensure each program meets his agenda. There has been little guidance on what programs, besides Medicare and Social Security, are exempt from the freeze and how long the pause will last. Americans are simply left bracing for the worst as healthcare facilities, housing assistance, educational programs, and even children’s school lunch programs could be impacted.
