    Devex Newswire: What Uganda’s anti-gay law means for AIDS prevention

    In today's edition: The Ugandan government has sent the country “100 steps backwards” in HIV/AIDS elimination with new anti-LGBTQ+ law, Ozempic’s value to WHO, and Poland’s attempt to hold an international agreement hostage.

    Uganda’s effort to fight the ravages of HIV/AIDS has been hurled into the Dark Ages with its draconian anti-gay law. We look at how it affects PEPFAR and the LGBTQ+ community there.
