As a woman living with HIV, I need no reminders of the life-changing importance of accessing HIV prevention and treatment services or indeed of the devastation caused by their absence. I know personally the fear and anxiety when struggling to access clinics and medicines.
I know too the hope that comes with scientific and medical breakthroughs and the despair when they remain out of reach for those who need it most. This is why I find myself mourning all the lost opportunities that will come in the wake of the UK’s devastating cut of £900m in bilateral aid to Africa.
