"For nearly 6 months, the Trump Administration has done everything they could to defund U.S. efforts to end the HIV epidemic across the world. They have unlawfully dismantled the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and slashed billions of dollars in already Congressionally appropriated funding in their quest for America to abandon our role as the global leader providing care to people living with or affected by HIV in low- and middle-income countries.

Now, the Trump Administration is trying to get Congress to join them in their shortsightedness and cruelty.

The Senate is currently considering a rescissions package that was sent to Congress by the Trump Administration, asking them to cut $9.4 billion in Fiscal Year 2025 funding that Congress has already signed into law. The majority of programs targeted in the rescissions package concern foreign aid, with $400 million in funding cuts for PEPFAR and a further $500 million in cuts for USAID global health programming.

We also expect that these rescission requests will not end with these threats to PEPFAR. If the recent attacks on HIV prevention services by this White House have taught us anything, it is that attacks on our global HIV response are likely to be replicated in our domestic HIV response. If this rescissions bill succeeds in clawing back for PEPFAR, it is more likely than not that cuts to domestic HIV programs will follow.

If a majority of Senators vote in favor of this rescissions bill, they will be legitimizing and co-signing the Trump Administration's unlawful decimation of our nation's global HIV response, undoing decades of life-saving work. We cannot let this happen.

Tell your Senator to vote NO on this rescissions package and to stand up for the millions of people living with and affected by HIV across the world whose lives depend on the funding it seeks to cut." AIDS United

"To fix our national pride, the solution is obvious: herpes."

That was the pitch made by the charity New Zealand Herpes Foundation last October, when it launched a campaign to make the country the "best place" to have the infection.

The charity was awarded a Cannes Lions award for its campaign to destigmatise the infection.
