Geneva – Geneva (AP) –
The head of the United Nations AIDS agency said on Monday that the sudden loss of US money was “devastating” for his efforts to stop HIV and will cost many of the lives of the most vulnerable people in the world. But she also proposed an “amazing deal” for US President Donald Trump, who said it could lead to “the end of AIDS.”
At a press conference in Geneva, the CEO of UIDS Winnie Bianima said that the deal will include Trump enables the American company to produce and license the “magic” prevention drug Lenacapavir via world For millions of people who need it.
Lenacapavir, which was sold as Sunlenca, was shown by injection twice throughout the year to prevent HIV in women who also work in men.
“President Trump loves the deals,” Piaanimasid, admitting that it was President George W. Bush who began paying the price of the wide drugs of HIV for more than two decades.
“President Trump, another Republican president, can be leading the prevention revolution at the end of AIDS,” said Boheima.
She added that the deal will perform not only in Gilead profits and create job opportunities for Americans, but save millions of lives in the poorest countries.
BYANYIA said that American funds constitute about 35 % of the basic budget for UNIDS last year, but it is not clear whether this may be restored for the next year. She said that the agency was holding talks with the United States government, but she was also preparing for the worst scenario, as there was No financing Available from the United States
BYANYIA said that it is unlikely that any other donor could fill this void, adding that European donors told the agency that they would support their support in order to redirect their money to defense and other priorities.
BYANYIA said that unless support is restored for HIV efforts, there may be more than 6.3 million additional deaths in the next four years and 2000 additional people per day.
She admitted that there were some correct criticisms regarding how to deliver HIV assistance, describing it “an opportunity to rethink and develop more efficient ways to provide life -saving support.”
Boheima also said that African countries are trying to become more self -acquired and that even some of the poorest countries “are now trying to extend very fragile health systems to accommodate people with HIV.”
