Millions of HIV patients in South Africa affected by U.S. President Donald Trump ’s global foreign aid freeze.

President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, or PEPFAR , has been suspended.

It contributes more than $400 million a year to South Africa's HIV programs and nongovernmental organizations.

The freeze has hurt various groups that can no longer provide treatment, causing an influx of patients to already overstretched public facilities.
