Dr David Pagwesese Parirenyatwa, President Society for AIDS in Africa (SAA), has urged the three committees of International Conference on AIDS and STIs in Africa (ICASA) 2025 to revisit their plenary topics to ensure sustainable funding for HIV response.

The committees include the Leadership, Scientific and Community programmes.

He said it was crucial to help address the domestic financing of health systems and the sustainability of HIV/AIDS response, given the recent action taken by the U.S Government to freeze funding for HIV support.

Dr Parirenyatwa who doubles as the President ICASA 2025, gave the advice at the second International Steering Committee (ISC) meeting in Accra.
