# Engage Men’s Health clinic in Johannesburg is closing due to the US foreign aid funding freeze. The USAID and Pepfar-funded clinic provided HIV treatment for the LGBTQI+ community. Staff were placed on unpaid leave in January after president Donald Trump’s administration halted Pepfar funding. Now, over 70 employees face unemployment. Project manager Joseph Adams told Africa News, that the closure affects both livelihoods and vital healthcare access. Engage plans to auction assets to pay staff, while concerns grow over the future of HIV treatment availability.
