UNAIDS Executive Director Winnie Byanyima confirms Jenny’s earlier reporting that the agency is looking at restructuring <https://t.devex.com/dc/kyXVoDpAY__Vu56MNr4POrHUo-5KRfbBK_1WFNkKZUIjgjVeyjIgivB2LAjuvYmrt9f3_DcQSV4T6zIDb5UNtXGMZajgV2esJTqIfTKE6ZcB4Reg494xgi4HVylZJxCqRlx4OqVXXVo-CfT9akm8Hf6ULwfE6tLEgZQ7P9EuV8hASAPWNhxfKL8ItNYi5iI_m-Nu3vnea93IUnYpTb8NDoQodk4BviE0ux08OwQgqw8XcPwIHt6Va0LxwcFq38l-yq3nWOm8RbuDCcoU7_XRKw==/Njg1LUtCTC03NjUAAAGZa_MevBu1mmicFx6YgzSaa5i8TBSmH5e9vfFUwbZWq16kSObdQqgLMtDyACEOwlj0Tc9MVZs=>. But Byanyima says UNAIDS is “managing,” noting that *they “haven’t yet given anybody a pink slip.”* But she admits: “*Worst-case scenario is about more reductions from Europe* as well as the possibility of zero from the United States.” Beyond the financial hit that UNAIDS <https://t.devex.com/Njg1LUtCTC03NjUAAAGZa_MevCqArHO9iIShqvhHyj77MZcNVccDiUYoJX6tZ2e0vylrFgbi4mb1hkMJRIVHeJvgoZ4=> would absorb, it could mean the fight against HIV/AIDS, which is so close to being in the rearview mirror, rears its ugly head again. In fact, if U.S. aid for HIV and AIDS is not restored or not replaced by other funding sources, UNAIDS estimates there will be an *additional 6.3 million AIDS-related deaths* in the next four years — a tenfold increase from 2023. *Read:* UNAIDS faces dicey future as US slashes 40% of its budget <https://t.devex.com/dc/kyXVoDpAY__Vu56MNr4POnH07E8eL-ri0pG0Wwrg4Xn4hRbo1bxg4OKCYgpyiIsrzin_ISRdi2JVYTndswOJGE2dxnMCCk4OiA26yXeXFXMe9Pi937E7NeKx-b_pGPkVIzP8RQZOskhv5OqNcTO0py_d2ROmGa5b2dlUBZTj8eZyevJ7xGacis7rqsMFTeEZiBoBrcrrcFzhUWJW8p02wcwG_cWNDYtlscFhJff2xe3_X2_e7-KEG4EwcsmvNwsq/Njg1LUtCTC03NjUAAAGZa_MevBu1mmicFx6YgzSaa5i8TBSmH5e9vfFUwbZWq16kSObdQqgLMtDyACEOwlj0Tc9MVZs=>
