GENEVA, Feb 7 (Reuters) - More than six million people could die from HIV and AIDS in the next four years if U.S. President Donald Trump's administration pulls its global funding for programmes, the United Nations AIDS agency said on Friday.
Although a waiver was placed on HIV/AIDS programmes in last month's U.S. foreign aid funding freeze, many concerns remained about the future of treatment programmes, the deputy executive director of UNAIDS told reporters in Geneva.
"There is a lot of confusion especially on the community level, how the waiver will be implemented. We're seeing a lot of disruption of delivery of treatment services", Christine Stegling said.
Trump put hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of foreign aid donations on hold for 90 days upon taking office on January 20. In the following days, the U.S. State Department issued a waiver on the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) - the world's leading HIV initiative - for life-saving humanitarian assistance.
While welcoming the waiver, Stegling stressed the situation remains chaotic.
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.
"That's 6.3 million people, 6.3 million AIDS-related deaths that will occur in future...Any penny, any cut, any pause, will matter for all of us" she said, urging U.N. member states to step in.
"In Ethiopia, we have 5,000 public health worker contracts that are funded by U.S. assistance. And all of these have been terminated," Stegling said.
She highlighted that community clinics were facing the biggest interruption as they are "entirely dependent" on U.S. government funding.
She expressed concern that some people may not come forward for treatment, which could in turn increase new HIV infections.
U.S. donations account for the majority of global funding for the U.N. programme that operates in 70 countries, leading global efforts to end AIDS as a public health threat by 2030.
Trump's administration says it is reviewing all foreign-aid programmes to see if they align with his "America First" policy.

This is why there is only soft power in giving money contingently. The soft power isn't via the contingency itself; the contingency shows that the money can and will stop flowing if the U.S. is sufficiently displeased.

No we say if you want gibs, do what we say. You only get gibs if you do what we want you to do. We're basically going to be employing countries now. If they dont do what we want theyre fired.

The US might give a rat's butt about this if the UN ever patted it on the butt for being a world leader in aid or whatever, but they just admonished the US constantly while taking infinite foreign aid dollars for granted. The US didn't even get brownie points for this before so from a pragmatic perspective I don't see why they should continue an arrangement they don't even get respect for. All those other awesome more humane and higher democracy index rising economic power countries should be able to handle it

the only time I ever heard about this program before today was as a kind of neocon fun fact
"Did you know that Africans actually think George W Bush is the greatest president because of the AIDS thing"

now we find out the answer to the question of how much this stuff has actually helped prevent over the years. We going to reach Africa AIDS saturation and constant 6 million deaths, or will it just even out and not be that noticable?
