Gugu Central used to collect antiretrovirals from a clinic-funded clinic by USAID in Johannesburg.
However, President Trump’s help to finance Trump earlier this year, when he suddenly faced a positive future of thousands of other HIV in South Africa.
Gugu was lucky, he closed the medicine he took the medicine that helped to invest his symptoms.
“I was one of the people who could get his medications. I usually gather a three-month recipe. But my clinic gave me nine-month medications before closing.”
In September, he will run out of antiretroviries (ARV) and then plans to go to the local state hospital.
The former sex worker, 54, was aware of HIV after leaving the industry.
Ten years ago he took a face cough and first thought it was tuberculosis. He went to a doctor who was a chest infection and treating him for it.
However, when treatment fails, went to a clinic to get a HIV test.
“Then I already assumed that I was positive to HIV and told the nurse.”
It’s right and since then it has been in the ARVs. We do not use the real name in his request.
He currently works as a project coordinator for a NGO.
“We are helping to receive the ARVs of pregnant sexual employees and ensure that their children are born in HIV. We look at the babies when they have taken their medicines on time and have their monthly inspections.”
Many HIV employees in South Africa, the US government has now relied on to the Private Clinics, funded by the Defunct AIDA agency, to obtain recipes and treatment.
However, the US President Donald Trump has closed the majority of the facilities after cutting the most foreign assistance in the beginning of this year.
Gugu believes that if many sexual workers can not get from clinics, they can be avoided to go to public hospitals for their ARVS.
“The problem of going to public hospitals is the time factor. You must come in 4 or 5 to serve these facilities and they can spend all day for those who wait for their medications. It is time for sex workers,” he says.
It adds that he recently went to a local hospital with some friends to register his details and establish a relationship with the staff.
“The nurse participating in us was very rough. He said there was nothing special about sex workers.”
“There are many personal information in the hospital documents, especially the hospital documents, especially hospital documents, especially hospital documents, will not always deal with such information.”
In a report broadcast on Thursday, the UN did not deny the United States against HIV / AIDS, but a number of donors send shock waves from all over the world “Phenomenal progress” in termination of disease risks.
“Since 2010, new HIV infections have decreased by 40% and 4.4 million children have been protected from HIV since 2000. More than 26 million people have been saved.
UNAIDS, before financing decreasing, new HIV infections and annual numbers of Media Deaths sank at the lowest levels of more than 30 years.
All of all the information published in the report is before the US and other donors are financed this year. However, as a result of these cuts, how much the progress does not lose.
Sub-Saharan Africa has seen a decrease of 56% in the number of new infections. The region was still epidemic epidemic – half of all new infections last year. However, in four African countries – Lesotho, Malawi, Rwanda and Zimbabwe – compared to 2010, they were on the road to reduce 90% in new infections.
Another success story for Africa has been performing antiretroviries that help to invest HIV symptoms. Along with other medical advances in the field in 2010, in 2010, in 2010, in 2010, from 62 to 62 to 62 to 62 years, Sahara has helped life in Africa.
Turnaround, then the President of the United States, President George W Bush, said that he would serve the “strategic and spiritual interests of the United States, launched an ambitious program against HIV / AIDS in 2003.
The president was invested in more than $ 100 billion (more than $ 74 billion) in the reaction of the Emergency Plan (PEPFAR) to AIDS (PEPFAR), the greatest obligation to solve a disease of the world.
About 7.7 million people living with HIV in South Africa, the highest number in the world, According to the UNAIDS.
5.9 million of them receive antiretrovirus treatment, resulting in a 66% decrease in deaths in AIDS since 2010.
The South African government has contributed about 17% to the HIV / AIDS program of Petfar financing. The money was used for mobile clinics to facilitate the treatment of patients, including various projects.
Trump administration’s cuts increased their concern that the proportions of infection can be spung.
“I think that the number of Vice-Chancees of the number of TB events, the number of tuberculosis, other infectious diseases,” Prof. Lynn Morris, “Johannesburg vice-chancellor vice-chancellenger vice-chancellenger vice-chancellenger vice-chancellenger vice-chancellenger vice-chancellenger vice-chancellenger vice-chancellenger vice-chancellengers, BBC.
“And we will begin to look into the opposite of things with a true success story. We were on the top of some of them.”
Gugu is a matter of life and death of treatment, especially for sensitive populations such as sexual workers.
“People do not want to stand standard in ARV. They intimidated if they did not get access to them.
The cuts also affected research to find a treatment for HIV vaccine and AIDS.
“There is a long-term impact that we will not receive new vaccines for HIV,” Prof.
“We do not continue to keep on the viruses in turnover. We will not have the control infrastructure we can be seen with new viruses.”
South Africa has been one of the global leaders of HIV research. Many drugs that help prevent the virus and benefit from all over the world, were tried in South Africa.
This includes a drug that stops the negative people of HIV not to keep the virus.
This year, a preventive drug, this year, was judged in South Africa, which offers a total protection of the Lenacapavir, and offering general protection per year.
In a laboratory at the University of Health Sciences, a small group of scientists working on a vaccine for HIV.
These are part of a laboratory working along eight African countries to make a vaccine for the virus.
“We have developed a vaccine test to see how good it is, and then we will be convicted.”
“According to the testing of the plan in Africa, according to tests, we wanted this study that we want to benefit our society and all humanity.”
However, the US financing has been questioned.
“We only managed to get some additional funding because we mean we should stop everything when the order arrives.
Laboratory No funding for the planned clinical trials at the end of this year.
“This is a long loss on South Africa and the continent. This means that any potential research from Africa should be tested in Europe or the United States,” he says.
In June, universities asked the government to cover some funding from the United States to 4.6 billion South African Rand ($ 260 million; 190 million).
“Since South Africa is not a leader in HIV research, but it is not a leading policy.
South African Health Minister Aaron Motsaledi said that an alternative funding was provided for some alternative research on Wednesday.
Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Wellcome confidence, each agreed to donate 100 m rands with an immediate effect, while the government randed 400 m over the next three years.
This will bring a total of 600 m Rand from the 4.6BN Rand, which requires researchers.
When it comes to Gugu, he hoped that he would be a treat for HIV / AIDS, but now less optimistic.
“I look nine. I want to live as much as I can to take care of it,” he told BBC.
“This is not just a problem at the moment, we must think about how these and young people will affect the next generation.”
