1993 Paris, 2008 Zimbabwe 15 years apart same AIDS patients. If you get #tuberculosis (TB) when you have #HIVAIDS the infection is much more severe and spreads throughout the body beyond the lung. Patients I have seen in Paris and in Africa before they had access to anti-HIV treatment had TB in the bones. An example below is a TB infection of the vertebra which collapsed. TB can spread to other organs and is a leading cause of death in AIDS patients.

Continued thread

…It was not immediately clear what assistance #Trump wanted to suspend; in 2023, the #US obligated nearly $440M in assistance to #SouthAfrica, the most recent year that full data is available. The lion’s share went to #health programs, especially #HIVAids treatment & prevention.

Ramaphosa, in his post on X, said #aid from #PEPFAR, a US funded AIDS prevention program, made up 17% of South Africa’s HIV/AIDS program, but apart from that, the South African govt received no direct #aid from the US.

I see we’re headed back in time to the Reagan era where those with HIV/AIDS were vilified and blamed for their condition and denied any form of support.

PrEP has saved countless lives. It was a huge advancement in the fight against AIDS.

Pausing funding will have devastating consequences around the globe, and will lead to an increase in new HIV diagnoses.

This is another example of Trump’s disdain for the LGBTQ+ community … as I guarantee he wouldn’t target prep if he thought HIV impacted people “like him”

Of course we know it does impact the heterosexual population, but facts and truth aren’t important to this administration.

What IS important? Lies. Discrimination. Bigotry. Cruelty.
