The United States has halted PEPFAR funding, potentially devastating Nigeria's HIV/AIDS response. Since 2003, this program has been a lifeline for approximately 2 million Nigerians living with HIV, providing life-saving antiretroviral therapy to 1.9 million people and supporting crucial prevention efforts. The potential funding suspension threatens to unravel years of progress in healthcare infrastructure, HIV testing, and treatment services. With over $6 billion invested in Nigeria's HIV response, the impact could be catastrophic, risking increased infection rates and compromising the health of vulnerable populations.
