# UNAIDS has warned that cuts in US foreign aid could cause a drastic rise in AIDS-related deaths and infections, reversing 25 years of progress. UNAIDS chief Winnie Byanyima urged immediate restoration of aid, warning of 6.3-million additional deaths and 8.7-million new infections in four years. She warns that the cuts threaten low-income countries in Africa, Eastern Europe, and Latin America, potentially bringing back crisis levels seen in the ‘90s and 2000s.
