3/ In every country we reported, Trump's health budgets have been a crisis of LGBTQ *employment*. HIV is a slow-acting virus & while "the cuts" have caused death, overwhelmingly, the biggest and fastest form of harm has been Black & brown LGBTQ people losing work theintercept.com/2025/12/01/w...
The immediate consequences of the cuts are more economic than medical. For many, the cuts created an acute crisis of employment. Research has long shown that people who identify as LGBTQ+ and/or living with HIV are prone to living in poverty. Often, the only work in the formal economy accessible to LGBTQ people — and trans women in particular — is to work in HIV prevention. Workers typically began as clients, then became volunteers, then stick with it for their career. These people often lack university or even secondary-school educations, and their jobs in HIV prevention are key to their economic and physical well-being, with salaries serving as lifelines for their families and economic engines in their communities. And when the stop-work order came, they fell off an economic cliff that brought financial danger much faster than HIV ever could. This was true in every country where we reported.
