Rosember Lopez was given the devastating news that he was HIV positive about thirty years ago. Due to the lack of government funding for HIV support in Mexico at the time, Lopez joined advocacy groups in order to obtain the money he required for life-sustaining treatment.

The Trump administration’s decision to halt nearly all foreign aid and dismantle the US global development network has put his organisation and hundreds of others in Latin America in danger.
Among those impacted by US President Donald Trump’s actions was the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), a program that was established under George W. Bush and has garnered bipartisan support. Relief organisations have cautioned that stopping PEPFAR and other programs might endanger the lives of millions of people who will have to stop receiving HIV medication, which could lead to a recurrence of the virus.
Organisations such as Lopez’s assist individuals with the illness in obtaining antiretroviral drugs that lower the danger of transmission and provide them with an opportunity to live a long, healthy life.
