As the Trump administration pledges to meet global health targets, it has terminated some of its best tools for doing so.
BLANTYRE, Malawi—Earlier this year, McDonald Phiri crashed his bike near his home in southern Malawi. Laid up for months, the 49-year-old relied on an outreach worker to deliver the HIV prevention medicine that he took daily. This service was provided through a specialized clinic run by the Centre for the Development of People (CEDEP), a group that supports gay men, such as Phiri, as well as transgender women.
Before the accident, Phiri himself had volunteered as an outreach worker for CEDEP, so he understood that in a country where homosexual activity is illegal, the clinic was a lifeline. MORE
