U.S. aid cuts threaten Uganda’s HIV services, causing shortages and prompting local adaptations.
Uganda is struggling to maintain HIV prevention and treatment services after significant U.S. aid cuts, leading to shortages of PrEP and condoms, especially for vulnerable groups like sex workers.
The country, which has received over $3 billion from PEPFAR since 2004, has faced health sector layoffs and lost research grants.
In response, Ugandan health leaders are adapting by shifting patients to government clinics, partnering with private providers, expanding international collaborations, and using tech solutions like AI.
Organizations like St. Francis Health Care Services have also turned to private donors and new paid services to sustain operations.
While it remains uncertain if Uganda can fully replace lost funding, efforts continue to protect lives and combat the HIV epidemic.
