<h1>Haitian HIV patients demand restored funding to prevent critical medication shortages and protect community health</h1> Haitians living with HIV publicly protested funding cuts that threaten their medication access. With over 150,000 HIV-positive individuals, the community faces potential medication shortages after significant USAID budget reductions. Activists risked social stigma by openly demonstrating, warning of potential health catastrophes if funding is not restored. Nonprofit organizations are struggling to maintain services, with some clinics already closing and medication supplies expected to run out by July, potentially increasing infection rates and threatening patient survival.
