He sold steaks, vodka, a fake university. Now: one memo pulling the US from 31 UN programs and gutting PEPFAR, the AIDS program across 50+ countries. The snake oil was always poison. Only the bottle got bigger.

Mike Reid, who served as chief science officer for the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, known as PEPFAR, has quit the position because the State Department is considering withholding assistance from people with HIV in Zambia to push the country into signing a favorable critical-minerals deal with the U.S. (hand to ear as if getting an update) I’m now hearing: the United States is the bad guys.

New #PEPFAR Data Show Worrying Declines in Testing and Treatment for #HIV
Numbers are first to quantify effect of the Trump administration’s shutdown and restarting of a program that has saved millions of lives worldwide.
In the last quarter of 2025, PEPFAR supported testing for 17.2M people, a steep drop from the 21.9M people tested in the same period in 2024. Diagnoses also fell, to 307,000 from 385,000, a predictable consequence of less testing.

Previously, the organization’s guiding ambition was to end #HIV as a #PublicHealth threat by 2030. But the #Trump admin has targeted #PEPFAR for sharp reductions, part of a broad move to cut #ForeignAid, which federal ofcls believe is wasteful & a misuse of taxpayers’ money.
The abrupt termination of congressionally approved funding for the nonprofit organizations that partnered w/PEPFAR has already hobbled the program & crippled the global HIV response.
-
Created during the George W. Bush admin, the #HIV treatment & prevention program has long enjoyed broad bipartisan support. It is often cited as the single most effective #PublicHealth campaign ever, saving an estimated 26 million lives in #LowIncome countries over 22 years.
The draft plan for shutting it down in coming years underscores ongoing tension between #Congress, which has repeatedly indicated support for #PEPFAR, & #Trump admin ofcls who wish to sharply curtail or end it.
-
The proposed plan has been under review for weeks, & word of it already has reached PEPFAR’s partners & govts in other countries. The draft obtained by NYT contains comments & edits from many senior staff members at the program.
#PEPFAR was crippled during the chaotic first few months of the #Trump admin, as #ElonMusk’s *cost-cutting* initiative, the #DOGE, slashed existing contracts, funding arrangements & govt structures.

“With targeted investment, PEPFAR’s #HIV control capabilities in these countries could be transformed into a platform for rapid detection & outbreak response to protect Americans from disease threats like Ebola,” the plan says.
A #State Dept spox said the document had not been finalized. “The referenced document is not reflective of the State Dept’s policy on #PEPFAR & was never cleared by Dept leadership,” she said.
She declined to be identified & did not provide additional details.
-
#PEPFAR, as the program is called, would cease to exist as an initiative to provide medicines & services needed to treat & prevent the spread of #HIV in #LowIncome countries.
It would be replaced by “bilateral relationships” with low-income countries focused on the detection of #outbreaks that could threaten the #US & the creation of new markets for American drugs & technologies, acc/to the documents.

The federal program to combat #HIV in developing nations earned a reprieve last week when #Congress voted to restore $400M in #funding. But that may be short-lived: Ofcls at the #State Dept have been mapping out a plan to shut it down….
Planning documents for the President’s Emergency Plan for #AIDS Relief [#PEPFAR], obtained by NYT, call for the organization to set a new course that focuses on “transitioning” countries away from US assistance, some in as little as 2 years.

According to Grinsztejn, the sweeping US cuts threaten to undermine systems supporting HIV research, prevention and care, at the very moment when the scientific tools and knowledge are becoming available to end the HIV pandemic.
