A 21-year-old South African woman, Ibanomonde Ngema, has made a passionate plea to US President Donald Trump, urging him to reconsider the administration’s decision to halt funding for life-saving HIV medications in low-income countries.

Ngema, who was born with HIV, is a vocal advocate for those living with the virus. She has been open about her experiences, using her platform to raise awareness and reduce stigma. In her message, Ngema emphasized that the decision to cut funding could have devastating consequences, reversing significant progress made in combating the virus.

The Trump administration’s move has sparked widespread concern among global health experts and advocates. They fear that the decision will disrupt treatment for millions of people living with HIV in low-income countries, who rely heavily on US funding for life-saving medications.

According to recent statistics, there were approximately 38.4 million people living with HIV worldwide in 2024 ¹. The decision to cut funding for HIV medications could exacerbate this issue, undermining efforts to achieve the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal of ending the AIDS epidemic by 2030.

Ngema’s message to President Trump serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of continued support and funding for global health initiatives. Her advocacy work is a testament to the impact that individuals can have in driving change and promoting awareness about critical issues like HIV/AIDS.
