The World Health Organization (WHO) expresses deep concern on the implications of the immediate funding pause for HIV programmes in low- and middle-income countries.

The State Department issued a waiver for lifesaving aid, but HIV clinics remain shut and uncertainty lingers over the future of PEPFAR, which has saved 25 million lives.

A move by the Trump administration to freeze funding for PEPFAR, the widely heralded international HIV/AIDS program, is putting countless lives at immediate risk, experts say.

The World Health Organization on Tuesday urged the United States to reconsider its decision to suspend funding for HIV treatment programs in developing countries, after President Donald Trump ordered a freeze on foreign aid.

The President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief has provided life-saving treatment to tens of millions since it was established in 2003

As President Donald Trump uses his executive authority to smash and slash programs that do not conform to his America First ideals, the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) was yet another foreign aid program put on the chopping block for a 90-day period.

A recent flurry of executive orders and surprise actions by the Trump administration have roiled WHO, the CDC and the international public health community.

The Trump administration's freeze on U.S. foreign aid has halted the distribution of lifesaving HIV medications.

The United States will leave the World Health Organization, President Donald Trump said on Monday, saying the global health agency had mishandled the COVID-19 pandemic and other international health crises.

The third day of the visit began with a launch of the Free to Shine Campaign, an initiative of the Organization of African First Ladies (OAFLAD) mobilising support to end new HIV infections and protect children and women.

The extent of the impacts of the Trump administration’s sudden 90-day freeze of almost all foreign aid is still unclear almost a week on, as officials and aid workers overseas try to make sense of which activities must be suspended.
