COVID-19 is derailing the fight against HIV in multiple way
We know that COVID-19 is a serious disease that is set to hit the countries with the highest burden of HIV very soon. Everyone, including people living with HIV, should take the recommended precautions to reduce exposure to COVID-19. The COVID-19 pandemic is having a serious impact on the most vulnerable communities worldwide and threatens progress on HIV. Results from the Global Fund’s latest biweekly survey show challenges for HIV prevention and HIV, TB and malaria case finding. In addition, the Global Fund is seeing cancelled or delayed prevention activities and laboratory staff being reassigned to COVID-19 – twenty percent of HIV and TB lab services are experiencing high or very high disruption hence more challenges in the fight against HIV/AIDS
