Abstract

Despite recent partial waivers granted by PEPFAR, the 2025 suspension of PEPFAR funding jeopardizes HIV/AIDS care for 20.6 million people, including 550,000 children, and risks reversing decades of progress in Sub-Saharan Africa (67% of global HIV burden). Immediate consequences include halted ART access, healthcare worker salary suspensions, and potential resurgence of AIDS-related deaths to 630,000 annually. Political disputes and funding misuse allegations further threaten program continuity. We urge expanded PEPFAR exemptions, rapid donor mobilization, and grassroots advocacy to avert catastrophe.

部分豁免：总统防治艾滋病紧急救援计划2025年的资金暂停，以及撒哈拉以南非洲地区迫在眉睫的艾滋病毒/艾滋病灾难。

尽管最近总统防治艾滋病紧急救援计划给予了部分豁免，但2025年暂停总统防治艾滋病紧急救援计划的资金将危及2060万人的艾滋病毒/艾滋病护理，其中包括55万儿童，并有可能逆转撒哈拉以南非洲地区几十年来取得的进展（占全球艾滋病毒负担的67%）。直接后果包括停止获得抗逆转录病毒治疗、保健工作者停薪以及艾滋病相关死亡人数每年可能再次上升至63万人。政治争端和资金滥用指控进一步威胁到项目的连续性。我们敦促扩大总统防治艾滋病紧急救援计划的豁免范围，迅速动员捐助者，并开展基层宣传，以避免灾难的发生。

期刊介绍： Retrovirology is an open access, online journal that publishes stringently peer-reviewed, high-impact articles on host-pathogen interactions, fundamental mechanisms of replication, immune defenses, animal models, and clinical science relating to retroviruses. Retroviruses are pleiotropically found in animals. Well-described examples include avian, murine and primate retroviruses. Two human retroviruses are especially important pathogens. These are the human immunodeficiency virus, HIV, and the human T-cell leukemia virus, HTLV. HIV causes AIDS while HTLV-1 is the etiological agent for adult T-cell leukemia and HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis. Retrovirology aims to cover comprehensively all aspects of human and animal retrovirus research.
