A new report from the HIV/AIDS non-profit amfAR identifies a reduction in HIV/AIDS treatment facilities. The organization's study indicates that more than 1,700 treatment sites have closed. This occurs after adjustments to funding for USAID and the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR).
PEPFAR has supported over 26 million lives since its inception in 2003, according to information from the program. William Brangham discussed these findings with Dr. Atul Gawande, who serves as the assistant administrator of USAID under President Biden.
