The Global Fund announces $11.3bn in pledges for 8th round of funding – still $7bn short:

But can we trust the current US govt. to honour their $4.6bn pledge, since its America First plan calls $3.6bn of it ‘wasteful’?

Did you know that thanks to a new drug called #lenacapavir, ending AIDS in 5 years is a real possibility?

But recent funding cuts risk wasting this opportunity.
