Sie brauchen den Medikamentencocktail und wollen ihn dennoch nicht einnehmen: HIV-positive Jugendliche in Russland schwanken zwischen Diskriminierung und Verzweiflung. Hilfe aus dem Ausland ist schwieriger geworden.#Russland #HIV #HIVinRussland #Jugentlicher #Teenager #Waisen #Kinderheime #Medikamente #Therapien #Ausgrenzung

Just ten countries accounted for almost half of all new #HIV infections in 2021.

And while new infections have seen a drop, the number of people living with HIV has increased from 26 million to more than 38 million over the past two decades.

The deal involved two companies, both of which could not have sounded more unimportant: an air carrier called #Skybus Jet Cargo and a #Delaware -based firm, International #Logistics Support, which had arranged the flight. But, ultimately, the deal between the two companies fell through. The plane never took off. And shortly after, International Logistics Support sued Skybus for damages in a #Miami court. With the resulting 300-plus pages of court documents, I was able to piece together these basics.
Still, there were big holes in the picture. For instance, who purchased the animals? How many were there? What species? (My best guess was long-tailed macaques, which are commonly sourced from Mauritius.) Where—which lab or labs—were the monkeys supposed to end up? And why, exactly, didn’t the flight take off as planned?
So I kept digging. I read everything I could find about the case. I submitted public records requests to the Centers for #DiseaseControl and Prevention, the National Institutes of #Health, the Fish and #Wildlife Service, and the United States Department of Agriculture, all of which oversee nonhuman primate trade, transport, and research. I asked #animalrights groups, government officials, and academics if they had any information about the case. I reached out to the companies involved, only to conduct a series of fairly fruitless interviews with the owner of International Logistics Support, a guy named Matthew Block, who, it turns out, is something of an infamous character among animal rights groups. From nearly everyone else? Crickets.
Navigating the monkey business, I learned the hard way, is a bit like navigating a, well, jungle.

Menschen mit #HIV aus der #Ukraine, die noch nicht in Deutschland registriert sind und #Medikamente brauchen, können in HIV- #Schwerpunktpraxen einmalig Rezepte für zwei Wochen bekommen. Die Schwerpunktapotheken stellen dann die HIV-Medikamente zur Verfügung, die #DAS Deutsche AIDS-Stiftung übernimmt die Kosten. Auch #Dolmetscherdienste können finanziert werden.
