Summary
Activists stormed the stage at the International AIDS Conference in Rio, chanting “You lie, people die, restore our Pepfar now” to protest U.S. cuts to the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief. New data reveals plummeting HIV treatment for children and over 1,700 shuttered sites — sparking a global health crisis. Activists demand accountability, insisting on restoring funding and reversing course. U.S. officials defend the shift, claiming smarter spending and urging global responsibility, but critics warn of secretive bilateral deals and stalled progress as countries push back against non-health demands.
