Vulnerable Populations Will Suffer With UNAIDS Early Closure HIV activists were stunned by a proposal from UN Secretary-General to shut down the UNโ€™s main agency to fight HIV/AIDS next year.

We have not recovered from the impact of US funding cuts earlier this year, and closing down @unaids.org early will only make things worse, especially for key populations and other criminalized groups, says Aditia Taslim, International Network of People Who Use Drugs www.ipsnews.net/2025/12/vuln...
