[Comment] Offline: President Trump—It Is Not Too Late
The Physicians for Human Rights report warns that recent U.S. cuts to global health funding under the Trump administration have crippled HIV/AIDS programs in South Africa, Kenya and other high‑burden countries. Primary‑care testing, PrEP distribution, antiretroviral therapy and research labs have been severely reduced or halted, leaving thousands without life‑saving services. The report argues that the funding gap threatens both public health outcomes and the return on decades of American investment in vaccine and drug development. It calls on Congress, multilateral agencies and non‑U.S. donors to restore support before the crisis deepens.
