HIV patients in northern Nigeria are increasingly turning to faith healers as PEPFAR funding cuts leave clinics without essential treatment. The reduction in financial support from the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief has created a crisis for many who relied on the program for medical care. With clinics unable to provide antiretroviral therapy, patients are forced to seek alternative remedies, often from traditional healers. This shift has raised concerns among health officials about the effectiveness and safety of these unproven treatments. Many patients report feeling abandoned by the healthcare system, leading them to trust in spiritual solutions. The situation highlights the growing gap between public health resources and the needs of those living with HIV in the region. As funding continues to dwindle, the reliance on faith-based care is expected to rise, posing challenges for both patients and medical professionals.
