Last week at the 58th UNAIDS PCB we mentioned for the first time our new upcoming report, The Human Cost of Policy Shifts, measuring the impacts of US funding cuts on the health and well-being of people who use drugs. This week, ahead of the launch of the full report, we will be sharing the key takeaways from our survey.
