Tackling HIV and Aids in Africa and globally - What in the World podcast, BBC World Service

World leaders pledged to end the Aids pandemic as a public health threat by 2030. Click here to subscribe to our channel 👉🏽 https://bbc.in/3VyyriM The World Health Organization aims to reduce HIV infections from 1.5 million in 2020 to 335,000 by 2030. The African continent still has the highest number of HIV infections globally. How will cuts to the US government's main overseas aid agency, USAID, affect the treatment and prevention of HIV in Africa? And will it make it harder for countries to end new cases of HIV by 2030? BBC Africa health correspondent Makuochi Okafor explains what HIV is and how it’s currently treated and prevented. He also breaks down some of the misinformation around HIV and PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) which stops HIV getting into your body. And we discuss what impact the cuts to USAID are having on HIV treatment and prevention programmes. BBC journalist Nathalie Jimenez also gives us a brief guide to the cuts to USAID. 00:00 Intro 00:26 Symptoms of HIV 01:05 HIV misconceptions 02:16 Treatments available 03:06 Where has the highest cases? 03:50 PrEP 05:06 Impact of USAID cuts 06:44 What is USAID and PEPFAR 08:02 How Africa has responded 08:40 Which countries could meet the UN’s goal? 09:31 Strategies used to reduce rates? 11:19 Outro and goodbyes Instagram: @bbcwhatintheworld Email: [email protected] WhatsApp: +44 330 12 33 22 6 Presenter: Hannah Gelbart Producers: Julia Ross-Roy and Adam Chowdhury Video Journalist: Baldeep Chahal Editor: Verity Wilde Watch more episodes from What in the World here 👉🏽    • What in the World in the studio   ---------------- This is the official BBC World Service YouTube channel.
