Hospitals and orphanages that care for HIV/AIDS patients in Haiti fear the impact of U.S. President Donald Trump's move to slash more than 90% of USAID’s foreign aid contracts and $60 billion in overall aid worldwide.

More than 150,000 people in Haiti have HIV or AIDS, although the number is believed to be much higher.

The people who protest voted because of Gaza can add Haiti to their conscience, because this would not have happened under Harris.

That's a feature, not a defect. Besides, no one in the White House has any issue with this happening and never will.

Yes, this was exactly the goal.

There's a long answer to this, but the short answer is death

unabated hiv infection, which can progress to aids. also the spreading of it in a community. Hiv also mutates extremely fast compared to other viruses.
