The United Nations AIDS agency, UNAIDS, on Friday said more than six million people could die from HIV and AIDS in the next four years if US President Donald Trump\u2019s administration pulls its global funding for programmes.<\/h3>\n

The Deputy Executive Director of UNAIDS, Christine Stegling, while addressing reporters in Geneva said although a waiver was placed on HIV\/AIDS programmes in last month\u2019s US foreign aid funding freeze, many concerns remained about the future of treatment programmes.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThere is a lot of confusion, especially on the community level, how the waiver will be implemented. We\u2019re seeing a lot of disruption of delivery of treatment services,\u201d Stegling said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Trump put hundreds of millions of dollars\u2019 worth of foreign aid donations on hold for 90 days upon taking office on January 20.<\/p>\n

However, in the following days, the US State Department issued a waiver on the President\u2019s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, PEPFAR, the world\u2019s leading HIV initiative, for life-saving humanitarian assistance.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

While welcoming the waiver, Stegling stressed the situation remains chaotic.<\/p>\n

Amid a broader decline of funding, Stegling warned there would be a 400% increase in AIDS deaths if PEPFAR financial support is not re-authorized between 2025 and 2029.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s 6.3 million people, 6.3 million AIDS-related deaths that will occur in future\u2026Any penny, any cut, any pause, will matter for all of us.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Ethiopia, we have 5,000 public health worker contracts that are funded by U.S. assistance. And all of these have been terminated,\u201d she said, urging UN member states to step in.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

She also highlighted that community clinics were facing the biggest interruption as they are entirely dependent on US government funding.<\/p>\n

She expressed concern that some people may not come forward for treatment, which could in turn increase new HIV infections.<\/p>\n
