Trump Administration Allegedly Withholding HIV Funding Allocated by Congress

The Trump administration is reportedly withholding a significant portion of the $6 billion in HIV funding that Congress allocated for the PEPFAR program this fiscal year. According to recent reports, the administration has indicated it will release less than half of the allocated funds, raising concerns about the impact on global HIV prevention and treatment efforts. Antiretroviral drugs were found on shelves at Nyumbani Children’s Home in Nairobi earlier this year, highlighting the potential consequences of delayed funding.
