Rubio and the Trump administration have been delivering critical blow after blow to #PEPFAR — the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief.
Last year, Trump dismantled USAID, effectively upending global HIV and AIDS programs. Now, CDC support for PEPFAR will end in most countries by September.
What followed was a crisis of neglect — stigma, political indifference, and a research establishment that moved too slowly while lives hung in the balance.
The history of HIV isn't just about scientific discovery. It's about people demanding that research and discovery serve everyone.
