Proposed cuts to foreign aid could result in millions of HIV deaths and soaring rates of global HIV infections, new modelling study in The Lancet HIV estimates. Explore the data 👉 tinyurl.com/5hud9dxm #MedSky
Figure showing projected effect of HIV programme funding cuts in 26 countries from 2000 to 2050, on HIV-related deaths. Anticipated 24% cuts capture the range of effects given by the proportional cuts and reallocated prevention budget to treatment scenarios (scenarios 2 and 3), while PEPFAR discontinued captures the range of effects with
and without mitigation (scenarios 4 and 5). The dashed black lines show a continuation of historical 8·3% year-on-year reductions in new HIV infections and 10·3% year-on-year reductions in HIV-related deaths from 2024 levels.

A decline in funding for the HIV response could result in millions of preventable new infections and deaths, with up to 120,000 of these deaths affecting children. International cooperation is essential to sustain the advances we’ve made in HIV prevention, testing, and treatment. bit.ly/43uTfxA
10 million potential new HIV infections by 2030; 3 million potential more deaths, including 120,000 children, due to HIV-related causes by 2030. This could be the impact of HIV funding cuts.

The Chancellor is right to balance the books, but wrong to do so on backs of low-income families. Read the latest Resolution Foundation analysis here, which reveals that more than two-thirds of the welfare cuts will fall on the poorest half of the country ⤵️ buff.ly/7hCSNBR
Ruth Curtice, Chief Executive at the Resolution Foundation, said:

“Having set her new fiscal rules only last autumn, and faced with rising debt interest costs and a weaker outlook for the public finances, Rachel Reeves had little choice but to make a downbeat Spring Statement.

“But while the Chancellor was right to balance the books, she was wrong to do so on the backs of low-to-middle income families, on whom two-thirds of the welfare cuts will fall. Over three million households will be worse off as a result of welfare changes.

“Major cuts to Universal Credit were made so late in the day that the OBR was unable to assess them, suggesting that long-term change is playing second fiddle to short-term savings. This approach to welfare reform that rarely ends well for individuals or the Government.

“The £3.6 billion trimming of departmental spending is a far cry from the austerity of the 2010s. But it is not pain-free either – crucial public services like courts, prisons and local government will feel the strain of reduced funding in the second half of this Parliament.

“The Government’s welcome ambition to kickstart growth got closer to reality today, with planning reforms set to boost GDP in the coming years. But the outlook still looks bleak. Much has been made of the living standards pain Britain experienced during the 2010s, but the 2020s are still on track to be even worse.”
