In April 2025, NPR looked at the impact of President Trump's cuts to foreign aid on HIV positive individuals in Zambia. Many were falling sick without access to their HIV medications. We returned to those people, as well as others who keep close tabs on the HIV/AIDS situation, to see where things stand now.
