Nkosi

Nkosi is a gay male sex worker living in a community where he conceals his sexual orientation due to societal stigma. He has voiced concerns over the increased risks associated with HIV after the Trump administration's cuts to HIV funding, which led to the closure of specialized clinics that provided crucial health services. In a poignant voicemail, Nkosi described the challenges he faces in accessing preventive measures like PrEP and the stigma encountered at government clinics, dubbing the consequences of these funding cuts as the 'Donald disease.' His story highlights the urgent need for accessible healthcare for key populations at risk of HIV infection.
