The Russian HIV nonprofit, which has been a cornerstone of the country’s efforts to combat the HIV epidemic, has suffered a significant setback as it has lost all state funding. This abrupt cut in financial support has left the organization in a precarious position, jeopardizing the vital services it provides. The timing of this funding loss is particularly alarming, as Russia continues to grapple with one of the world’s fastest-growing HIV epidemics. The situation has raised concerns about the potential impact on public health and the sustainability of HIV prevention and treatment programs in the country.
