Earlier this week, our colleague Nicholas Barrio went to visit an HIV AIDS clinic in Kampala, Uganda.

Everything is quiet.

The clinic was closed. Shut down after President Trump froze almost all foreign aid money.

Only a security guard and a cleaner

were on the premises. The security guard at the gate says he's not allowed to let anyone inside.

Now he tells me that people have been coming and being turned away and as a result, no one

now comes. Before it closed, it was providing care to hundreds of patients with HIV AIDS every day.

In meantime, all the medicine that's sitting inside this clinic is just locked away.

Yes, all the medicine, yes, all the supplies, because people have been working there where I told not to return.

Since its founding, this clinic has been funded almost entirely by U.S. foreign aid.

For more than 20 years, it's been part of a program known as PEPFAR,

a multi-billion dollar U.S. effort, specifically designed to stop the spread of HIV AIDS globally.

And how important are the services provided by this clinic?

So they are very, very important because it helps people who live in rural areas,

people who have no money to pay for these tests, and most importantly, expectant mothers, people were pregnant,

and these treatments help them from passing the virus onto their unborn children.

PEPFAR has been swept up in President Trump's 90-day freeze on foreign aid.

Although the administration has signaled that it didn't intend to pause

PEPFAR entirely, the order is having that effect. At this moment, PEPFAR programs are mostly at a

halt all across Africa. I asked her other colleague, Michael Phillips, about the effect of the

funding freeze in Kenya, where he's based. Well, I think there's been a general sense of panic.

So I spoke to somebody the other day.
