India, Feb. 27 -- The United States funding freeze is taking its toll on the global AIDS response, according to a new situation report released by the UN agency charged with responding to the disease.
UNAIDS said that at least one status report on the impact of cuts has been received from 55 different countries up to the start of this week.
That includes 42 projects that are supported by the US President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, or PEPFAR, and 13 that receive some US support.
Two days after President Trump's executive order in late January declared a 90-day pause to all foreign assistance, the Secretary of State issued an emergency waiver to resume "life-saving" humanitarian assistance, including HIV treatment.
