<h1>HIV Rate Climbs to 3% in Tigray Post-War; Health System Struggles Amidst Aid Cuts and Rising Infections.</h1> In Ethiopia's Tigray region, the HIV prevalence rate has surged to 3% following a devastating war that began in 2020. Sexual violence was rampant during the conflict, with 10% of women and girls reportedly abused. The region's health system was largely destroyed, leaving 90% of sexual violence survivors without timely medical care. The Trump administration's aid cuts have exacerbated the situation, leading to layoffs of health workers and halting HIV support services. Tigray also faces rising cases of other infectious diseases like malaria and measles, further straining its limited healthcare resources amidst ongoing political instability.
