The people of Africa rejoiced when then President Bush approved billions to help keep Africans with HIV alive. The current administration has decide to freeze PEPFAR spending. That means in many places newly infected HIV patients will not be able to acquire the needed ARV's. By the way, keeping young adults alive through providing free ARV's also keeps parents in the home to help see their children through school. I understand budget cuts; but I also understand commitments that involve life and death.
