🚨 Rep. Gregory Meeks just accused Sec. Marco Rubio of giving false testimony about U.S. foreign aid cuts.
📉 The Lancet says those cuts could cause 690,000 child deaths in 2025 alone.

The European region has seen HIV-related deaths rise by 37% since 2010 (37k in 2010; 51k in 2024).
These are HIV-related deaths and so are not the result of an aging population.
Most deaths are outside of the EU, particularly in the conflict-torn Ukraine and Russia.

The UN set a target to end new HIV cases by 2030.
With the tools we have, including long acting PrEP and treatment, that should be possible.
Interim 95-95-95 goals were set for this year.
Have we hit them? Are we on track?

Yes, don’t confuse COVID w/ tuberculosis. But do consider that part of TB‘s comeback could be related 2 widespread immune system harm from repeated COVID infections. TB is considered an AIDS-defining illness since it often occurs w/ advanced HIV, wherein the immune system is significantly weakened.

The fist MM Weekly I read was about an increase in Kaposi’s sarcoma in gay men, which later turned out to be HIV related. HIV had not been discovered yet. Without MMWR it there would have been no notification of what was to come. It’s beyond important.

The CDC website reverting mpox to the inaccurate & racist “monkeypox” is analogous to reverting HIV to “gay-related immune deficiency” (GRID). How far the once premier public health agency has fallen under RFK Jr. and minions.
