Pacific nations have seen a devastating rise in rates of HIV and AIDS, with Fiji alone recording hundreds of new cases this year.A United Nations report has found an uncounted number of people have died globally from AIDS, and 2,500,000 people have lost access to medicine to block the spread of HIV since cuts to USAID programs by the Trump administration. Ahead of World AIDS Day on December 1, the Albanese Government will financially support a $48 million program in the Pacific region to manage the crisis.
