US Nigeria sign 2.1bn health deal

The United States and Nigeria have signed a landmark agreement worth about 2.1 billion dollars to strengthen health security, expand primary healthcare, and support long term self reliance in Nigeria’s health system. The deal is framed as a technical memorandum of understanding that deepens bilateral health cooperation and aims to build a more resilient system for all Nigerians.​ Under the agreement, both countries will work together to improve early detection, prevention, and control of infectious diseases, including HIV and tuberculosis.

WHO Raises Alarm Over Rising HIV Infections, Falling Funds

On World AIDS Day 2025, the World Health Organisation warned that the global fight against HIV is at a dangerous turning point as new infections rise while funding and political commitment weaken. The theme for this year, “Overcoming disruption, transforming the AIDS response,” highlights the need to rebuild and strengthen programmes that have been hit by crises and neglect.​ WHO said an estimated 40.8 million people are currently living with HIV worldwide, with the Eastern Mediterranean Region alone accounting for about 610,000 of them. In that region, annual new infections have almost doubled in less than a decade, jumping from 37,000 in 2016 to 72,000 in 2024, yet fewer than four in ten people know their HIV status and less than a third are on treatment.​ The organisation warned that dedicated HIV funding is declining, services are being disrupted and […]

US Delivers New HIV Prevention Drug to Two African Nations

The United States has delivered a new HIV prevention drug, Lenacapavir, to Eswatini and Zambia, beginning its rollout in Africa. This move comes after US government aid for global health dropped significantly in recent months. The US, working with the Global Fund and Gilead Sciences, delivered 1,000 doses of Lenacapavir to the two countries, with administration starting this week. US officials aim to fund two million doses for low- and middle-income African nations, targeting a goal by 2028 or sooner. Lenacapavir is an injectable drug that only needs to be taken twice a year, providing an easier alternative to daily pills and improving access, especially for pregnant and breastfeeding women. It is seen as a breakthrough in HIV prevention and could greatly reduce new infections. The recent cuts to US foreign aid have affected other HIV and AIDS programs, including […]

UN Fears HIV Infections Will Soar After US Cuts Funding

The United Nations (UN) has raised alarm over the potential surge in global HIV infections after the United States reduced its funding for HIV and AIDS programs worldwide. UNAIDS Executive Director, Winnie Byanyima, expressed concern that without U.S. support, the number of new HIV infections could nearly double, reversing the progress made in the fight against the disease.The U.S. had been a key contributor to UNAIDS, funding over half of its $220 million budget for 2024. The cutback means that thousands of HIV-infected individuals will no longer receive essential medications, potentially leading to rapid virus transmission.Byanyima warned that, without U.S. funding, there could be 8.7 million new infections and 6.3 million additional deaths over the next four years. She also urged U.S. President Donald Trump to reconsider the funding cuts and suggested that a deal with U.S. pharmaceutical company Gilead […]
