A Ugandan health worker keeps treating HIV-positive youth after losing U.S. funding, as global efforts prevent a major treatment collapse despite temporary data issues.
Community health worker Harerimana Ismail in Uganda continues supporting HIV-positive children and teens despite losing his U.S.-funded salary since early 2024, surviving on garden vegetables and selling potatoes.
His dedication reflects broader global resilience in HIV treatment, as preliminary U.S. data—briefly released and withdrawn—showed only a 100,000-person drop in people on treatment, far less than feared.
Experts attribute the stability to swift international cooperation, emergency funding by recipient countries, and the U.S. restarting key programs.
The State Department said the decline stemmed from reporting delays, not actual care disruptions, and plans to resume regular data updates.
While concerns remain about long-term impacts and transparency, the global response has prevented a major collapse in treatment access.
