We have destroyed USAID and NIH while pumping money into a Nazi's hobby that has regressed from "blew up spaceship before reaching orbit" to the even bigger failure of "blew up spaceship on the ground."

Thank you @josephestiglitz.bsky.social for speaking up for people living with HIV. Now is the time to ensure that medicines like Lenacapavir reach those who need them most.

Questionnaire on the use of the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) data Please click the link to complete this form.

USAID cuts have halted Demographic and Health Surveys that are essential for tracking diseases like HIV and malaria. Huge loss that threatens global security and the efficient distribution of aid. Apparently the UN is trying to track scale of impact. Please respond. form.jotform.com/250913880478...

Impact of the pause of U.S. foreign assistance on the HIV response in Kenya

Impact of the pause of U.S. foreign assistance on the HIV response in Kenya

The Ministry of Health in Kenya has developed a national mitigation plan recommending domestic resource allocation and the fast-tracking of the ongoing HIV Sustainability Roadmap. To ensure the continued supply of HIV commodities, the government of Kenya will need to allocate approximately US$ 10 million.

Impacts on health services and human resources: 
- Shortages of HIV treatment and testing supplies. 
- Viral load and early infant testing and diagnosis are at risk. 
- Medical staff have been placed on leave, impacting HIV care. 
- Many community programmes, including HIV monitoring and data collection have been halted.

UNAIDS is working closely with the Kenyan Government and partners. UNAIDS is part of the Commodity Security team, monitoring the situation closely, identifying gaps and risks, and proposing solutions.

What does the pause in U.S. foreign aid mean for Kenya's HIV response?

What would a TV ad promoting alternatives to driving look like? What if people who love cycling and progressive transportation reclaimed ideas like freedom, independence and even patriotism? We decided to give it a shot. Check out our new video, "America, It's Just Like Riding a Bike."

Why should the public care about the freeze on the NIH? Aside from the need for scientific pursuits to make our society betterโ€ฆ
-For every dollar we invest in NIH research, there is a $2.5 return.
-Research dollars help fund universities that employ non-academics. (1/)
