Still makes me nervous

When bush started pepfar it used to cover the whole range of treatments for hiv positive patients. Not just arv.

Starting with Obama, cuts began. Now it's just arv.

So, you better not defend any pausing. Obama made a lot of things difficult for HIV patients. Trump should not join him.

I have worked in clinical care for hiv patients and still do. That's why I am not amused by any pausing. People are in pain
Hmmm, I doubt supply will dry out in 60 days just like that , I suspect he is just trying to get his new team to take control....I now understand your worries

"Everyone " here means people without legal authorization. We all know you don't deport citizens or people with legal documents without due process. I don't have to spell it out for you.

Nigeria can fund them.its just sincerity of purpose from the government. There is huge advantage to join bricks. Everything is not suppose to centered on America. Middle east is so develop cos they did the right thing. Dubai is now the world capital tourism and business. American are trooping there yearly for leisure. Our leaders need to think deep. America is not special. Gadaffi prove that but unfortunately he was killed by same America government. Libya was stable and enjoying their God given Oil.
Bros, na American engineers develop/build middle east(the Saudi Arabia UAE) using the petrodollar..

He rigged it.

Democrats don’t want to talk about it because they don’t want to found like coo coo republicans who are known election deniers.

But he’s bragged about it and Elon has bragged about it.

The rest of those who ACTUALLY voted for him are ignorant. They’re crying now because they’re googling the meaning of what they voted and they want to reverse their votes.

All people like me have to do is sit and watch them learn. 🤷🏽‍♀️
Thanks for informing me. 🙏

I checked the internet though, this link: https://www.c-span.org/clip/public-affairs-event/user-clip-trump-admits-they-rigged-the-election/5150039
The Trump was saying Joe Biden rigged the election in 2020, reason he's now President in 2025 to get to witness World cup and olympics in 2026 and 2028.

Also, I saw the comment that Elon Musk is a computer guy... Perhaps, it was just a comment, not that Elon Musk computer-rigged vote counting machine in the Pennsylvania.

The rest of those who ACTUALLY voted for him are ignorant. They’re crying now because they’re googling the meaning of what they voted and they want to reverse their votes.
😅This, yeah, the Trump is like an image of a typical American person, ignorant and weird. No offense to you to if you're already American though. They deserve him.

How exactly can I be accused of emotional blackmail? I don't see how though.

Again, true, there are poor people on the streets. In fact, one doesn't necessarily need to be poor to be in need. Rich people run into needs too, sometimes needs that money can't sort out.

But, again, helpers are entirely free to choose whether or not to act in that capacity. There is no blame existing anywhere in the world to cast at them...especially when they have been helping for decades.

My natural reaction to the news of America's withdrawal as we've all read here is deep sadness. I do feel for those that will be directly or indirectly affect (note that WE ALL will be affected, directly or indirectly). But, I had to establish objectivity; these guys have done a whoooooolllleee lot for us and other nations like us. I surely cannot blame them for their decision. Nope. May I not stand any day to throw blames at anyone that once helped me in the past...yeah, it's how I see it.

What is even more annoying is that if our leaders were serious, we would most likely be able to cater for our PLHIVs. It's just a matter of proper planning and honesty; these ingredients, sadly, are lacking in the heads of our politicians. We are not like any other nation that may be truly unable to cater for their PLHIVs.

May God help us all.
I agree. In fact, our government ought to step in and take over now that the Americans are withdrawing support for these vulnerable people. But that's something I'll say to our government in another thread. This one is for calling out Trump. smiley

Nice one

Bad news for all these relatives to nigerian corrupt government officials that are stealing the funds and using same to fund their lavish lifestyles while the real HIV positive people gets next to nothing.
People tend to think every decision on earth is always about Nigeria. Trump wants an audit, not about impact but exactly how much his country claimed to be supporting other countries with and how much such act have affected the US finwnces

No before this they had so much talk about not needing votes to win. Elon himself said he’ll go to prison if he fails and Trump loses. He called it before voting was over on his private app. Democrats are too proper. They won’t make any official claims until they have incontrovertible proof. They dont want to be compared to republicans. Even though everyone can clearly see the truth. Well I can’t cry more than the bereaved. The people who will most negatively affected by Trump are his voters.

Ok, I'm going to believe this. The Trump actually had been behaving like a rigged-in politician, like a politician on little time, similar to those coup plotters. Lol.

Yes, the Democrats had better be proper and not let Americans or even the rest of the world turn to conspiracy theorists like the Republicans.

If this news is true, I'm pleading with President Trump to please reconsider his decision for the sake of thousands of poor HIV patients.
Re: Trump Halts HIV Funding For Nigeria by higgs: 5:48pm On Jan 28, 2025
Nigeria, with all it's oil wealth should be able to provide life saving HIV medication for its citizens. If it is to pay senators and reps members,we will be among the highest in the world. I don't like Trump's action but the truth is that the US does not owe us free drugs.

Some folks here are quite funny.

You blame a man standing up for his country to make it great again, but you refuse to stand up against the criminal elite destroying your country and stealing it's Commonwealth dry making it a begger nation all over the world.

You prefer politicians embezzling funds and stashing them away for their generations while you cry that a man suspended freebie for your sick citizens.

Why is the pharmaceutical industry almost dead in your country? Why is your government not funding research in indigenous manufacturing of antiretroviral drugs?
Why dependency on the west and aide mendicant?

You guys should go and sit down somewhere but not where sane folks are discussing.

USAID has suspended funding for its operations in Africa and other developing countries. Hope this does not affect those working in the NGO sector, the US is one of the largest donors for humanitarian causes worldwide including the WHO. Many states in the Northern part of the country rely on NGOs to survive.
It has already started some implementing partners have been told to stop work for 3 months, although interventions and discussion s are currently going on. It is well cry
Re: Trump Halts HIV Funding For Nigeria by ancess2020: 8:37pm On Jan 28, 2025
Only those working in the HIV sector will truly know how important PEPFAR is to HIV in Nigeria.
Even with the free medication, some see it as a burden not to talk about to start buying it. This will negatively affect Nigeria if the halt is permanent

Really a dicey situation, I work in an OVC CBO, Sometimes you have to call this clients to come pick up their drugs

Some, you have to pay their transport fare
Some you have to do excort service.
Some you have to do home delivery
Some unsuppressed children you have to do daily DOT. We are literally begging this people to take their health seriously

All funded by PEPFAR.

No Country grows with negativist citizens.

Your other point is null. Do you know how costly HIV drugs and medications are? Do you know there are over 2million Nigerians getting aided by this funding?

So, you'd rather they all struggle and perish just because the institution is supposedly corrupt?

See thinking
you can go and die if you have HIV AIDS.Na who send you go carry AIDS?

I have worked with key population on HIV program. I don't want to say much. Let the matter rest. I don work with all the typologies for street.
I get, key population is one of the worst initiative by the implementing partners. I work in OVC CBO in Lagos under CIHP implemented program. Most of the data by the KP are forged and formulated but I can tell you that our data at tge OVC CBO is 95% authentic. This HIV data are real. It was the KP that gave us serious problem.

And the major problem is that they treated you guys as special breed due to the peculiarity of the people you are working with. That gave you guys the opportunity to forge all your data. No one wants to see your clients because you guys made it look as if this clients don't want to interact with humans. You kept your work like a secret cult thereby giving you the chance to do all Mago Mago.

This is not the way it operates at the OVC CBOs. We get to meet this people one on one, visit there homes and even employ tgem in our office

Corrupt politician buying properties in US dat even their citizen over there cannot afford, n u say what againhuh Murder....
Trump wants Nigeria to wake up, dats just how I c it. We ve no reason whatsoever to b among the poorest nation.

You're right about legal doing the job but I am yet to meet an American who wish to pick strawberries in the fleid on 110 degree or anyone who is willing to but a pound of lettuce for $20. What is am saying is average American benefit from cheap labor offer to illegal but the government should enforce the law with humanity in mind. Criminals should be shown the door. Obama deported more people than Trump. He just did not make noise about it.
