The fight against HIV requires both treatment AND prevention. But Trump and Republicans' funding cuts have forced an end to many of the most effective prevention programs for high-risk populations. On this World AIDS Day, Congress must recommit to ending this epidemic.
For years the US has observed World AIDS Day to raise awareness/promote efforts to combat the epidemic.
Today, as if sweeping aid cuts/attacks on the global health system weren't enough, the admin is showing again it doesn't care about helping the world's most vulnerable or protecting global health
