How poor countries are dealing with America’s AIDS cuts

However, bad things have happened since Mr Trump’s executive order. A report by the Kaiser Family Foundation, a think-tank, published on July 27th concluded that American funding has fallen by $2.1bn, representing a 25% fall in the overall amount spent in 2024. Another, by the Foundation for AIDS Research, an international charity, surveyed organisations working with PEPFAR, America’s chief anti-AIDS initiative. It found that 23% were unable to obtain condoms, 20% could not get ARVs and 22% were unable to obtain pre-exposure prophylactic (PrEP) drugs, which prevent infection.
