1/ 📉 HIV testing in South Africa has dropped sharply after U.S. funding cuts, especially impacting pregnant women, infants, and youth. The U.S. once funded ~17% of SA’s HIV budget through PEPFAR.

2/🇺🇸 Cuts under Trump’s admin led to:
Viral load testing ↓ 21%
Early infant HIV tests ↓ nearly 20%
NGO-run clinics shut down. Public health centers now overwhelmed

3/⚠️ Without testing, it’s harder to monitor treatment and spot infectious cases, raising the risk of transmission, especially to/from pregnant women and children.

🏥 PEPFAR funded salaries for ~15,000 health workers. Without them, fewer patients are followed up, and fewer tests are done.

4/ If nothing changes, South Africa may face rises in HIV deaths and new infections. The country is at a critical tipping point. We hope for the best under Ramaphosa’s leadership.

So, they escaped AIDS to come to Dulles for little flags and measles. Not sure they're trading up in this situation.

Hope they enjoy the measles, the tuberculosis, the fast food, cost of healthcare, the gun violence and the Dynamic Duo of ICE and CBP. Also hope they find a pure blood NIMBY Karen that hates immigrants asap

We’ll leave the children of Central and South America to fend for themselves against murderous, child trafficking gangs, but let’s save 7 white farmers from South Africa.
