Pacific HIV projects threatened by funding change
Updated
Ahead of World AIDS Day on Thursday the Pacific Islands AIDS Foundation warns that funding is running out for the HIV response in the Pacific.
An estimated 30-thousand people are HIV positive in the region with the vast majority of the cases in Papua New Guinea.
The Chief Executive Officer of the Pacific Islands AIDS Foundation, Maire Bopp says the threat to AIDS funding in the Pacific results from a decision by the Global Fund to cancel its latest funding round and replace it with a transitional funding mechanism.
