In 2023, nearly 40 million people worldwide have lived with HIV. In this amount, nearly 1.3 million people were infected in the same year, and 630,000 people died from AIDS diseases.
For four years, 6.3 million people could die if the United States could not continue funding the program to fight HIV/AIDS. On Tuesday, March 25, the Director of the United Nations for HIV/AIDS (Yuneids) Winnie Bianim said.
According to him, the world will see a real growth of HIV. As the Yunaids predict, if nothing changes, 8.7 million new infections can be recorded.
As Bianim noted, although the financing of the US Agency for International Development (USAID) after a 90-day revision should be resumed in April, helping patients with HIV may not open “in fear that they will not comply with new recommendations by the” American Government.
“The sudden end of US financing led to the closure of many clinics, the dismissal of thousands of medical workers. These are the nurses, doctors, laboratory assistants, pharmacies … it has a lot,” explained the Director of the Yunaids.
Bianjima noted that for the United States it is a reasonable desire to reduce their financing, “but, in his opinion, this should be done a little.
“The sudden stop of rescue help has a destructive influence on countries, especially Africa, and even Asia and Latin America,” he emphasized.
Director Yaneids added that governments of other countries are not ready to make financing spaces.
Donald Trump’s administration has completed the financing of 5.8 million United States projects for International Development (USAID).
