I wouldn’t be surprised if, in the next few months, we see a spike in new HIV infections. That’s thanks to Trumps order that USAid immediately stops funding. Lots of organisations that do free HIV testing, prevention and treatment stopped working today.
If Wits, UKZN (Caprisa) Stellenbosch and UCT (Desmond Tutu HIV centre) lose their $8 million US funding for HIV and TB research in children, women and prevention -what happens to patients, research and SA top universities international statuses?
