United Nations AIDS agency expects 2,000 daily HIV cases due to USAID cuts

There could be 2,000 new HIV infections every day globally due to USAID cuts, the United Nations AIDS (UNAIDS) agency said on Monday.

"If US Assistance is not restored and not replaced by other funding - and we have not heard of other governments pledging to fill the gap - there would be an additional 6.3 million more AIDS-related deaths in the next 4 years," Winnie Byanyima the executive director of UNAIDS told reporters in Geneva on Monday.
