U.S. Funding Halt Forces Closure of South African HIV Clinics
Engage Men's Health, a nonprofit organization in South Africa, has been providing free HIV testing and preventive medications at three clinics across the country. However, as of Monday, the organization has ceased operations following an order from the U.S. government to stop all activities immediately.
The closure comes in response to a directive issued on Friday by the Trump administration, halting all global health funding, including support for the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). Notices on the organization's website and social media confirm that the clinics will remain closed until further notice.
