Kenya: Cuts in American Aid Threaten the Fight Against HIV

Cuts in American aid have led to the deaths of at least 24 HIV-positive sex workers in Kenya, including Judy, who died just before meeting with AFP. NGOs report a significant rise in HIV infections among these populations, which could lead to a catastrophic increase in cases within the general population. A report from the amfAR Foundation revealed that 73% of U.S.-funded organizations had to cease their services for key populations.
