Activists piled hundreds of fake coffins at the State Dept. today to warn of mass deaths if funds from the global AIDS relief program PEPFAR are not reinstated.
One analysis estimates that over 36,000 adults and nearly 4,000 children have died overseas as a result of the funding cuts. Full story TK

Having a talk w/a friend who just started using PrEP bc... she didn't know it was available to women.
When she found out about it, she asked her OBGYN why it had never been mentioned. The OBGYN said: Even tho you have many partners, you weren't at risk until you started having sex w bisexual men.

This was a painful but rewarding story to work on. For New York Magazine, I wrote about the devastating effect of AIDS on the city's theater community, and what has become a decades-long effort to create a full list of those we lost. www.vulture.com/article/hiv-....

The AIDS crisis shattered Broadway, and the scope of the loss has never been fully accounted for. Some kept their own records.

As the current administration continues to gut AIDS funding and make attempts to erase our history, pieces such as this serves as a reminder that there is still so much unwritten history. Thank you Mark for telling it.

The Capitol Police arrested a group of peaceful protesters who demonstrated today in the Cannon House Office Building against the Trump’s decision to freeze foreign aid and lay off thousands of USAID workers. The president has made his message clear: disagree with them, and they will come after you.

We are in such dark and dispiriting times, in so many ways, but especially within the HIV community. We have never seen this level of attacks on lifesaving programs in decades. Ending the epidemic has never felt this out of reach in my lifetime.

What this crushing news about PEPFAR means. Needless HIV acquisitions and needless deaths. Not even a week of the Trump administration and there is already blood on his hands.
Many sudden and shocking health care developments this week. But this was a big one: The Trump administration on Friday paused funding for PEPFAR, the famed program to fight HIV/AIDS around the world.

Funds for fight against HIV/AIDS paused in Trump aid freeze
The President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, or PEPFAR, is credited with saving 25 million lives worldwide and has long enjoyed bipartisan support.
