Aid starts drying up in Uganda for the HIV+

The ball has started rolling in the west as slowly more and more aid is cut or suspended to Uganda over it's new "jail the gays" law. No surprise actually, as Uganda was virtually daring the west to do it, claiming that the aid shouldn't be touched just because they were doing their moral duty or some shit. You know, purifying their society of poofs. 

Personally, I think the west has surprised Ugandan politicians. Pretty much the same as the Russian were surprised at the west's reaction to their "propaganda" laws. 

Unfortunately, the services on the front line of HIV infection and treatment are also the first services to be affected. My prediction of an HIV/AIDS outbreak in Uganda (and Nigeria for that matter) still stands.

The U.S. official did not say how much aid was withheld but added the CDC had spent $3.9 million on a ministry of health program last year. 

Uganda's health ministry said it had been told it would no longer be able to access money from a fund used to buy antiretroviral drugs and HIV testing kits. 

Ministry spokeswoman Rukia Nakamatte said the freeze would affect 50 of its workers. 

The U.S. government estimates its total assistance to Uganda stood at about $723 million in 2013. About half a million Ugandans with HIV or AIDS receive help through U.S. programs. 

The World Bank and donors - Sweden, Norway, Denmark and the Netherlands - have already withheld aid or loans worth more than $118 million. more

See what stupid religion does for the sick...
