Additional Context: This information was collected as part of The Aid Report’s original reporting, “One year after US aid freeze, HIV care in Africa is in retreat.” The feature story assesses how one year after the U.S. foreign aid freeze, HIV treatment still exists across much of Africa — but the outreach, prevention, and monitoring systems that sustained it have frayed. The report looks at how access to care has been reshaped in Uganda, Zambia, Malawi, and Botswana.

An outreach program funded by the U.S. government to follow up with clients who missed their refill appointments was canceled. Though some services continue on a volunteer basis, trust has been broken.
