Mashup Score: 8Impact of an international HIV funding crisis on HIV infections and mortality in low-income and middle-income countries: a modelling study - 25 day(s) ago
Unmitigated funding reductions could significantly reverse progress in the HIV response by 2030, disproportionately affecting sub-Saharan African countries and key and vulnerable populations.

1/ HHS halts data collection on critical public health issues amid cuts. Cutting back on data collection is like telling police to fight crime without knowing when/where/how it’s happening. It’s wasteful, reckless & ineffective. https://t.co/y5qp90CTJu
