More than four years ago, then-President Donald Trump declared an ambitious goal that had bipartisan support: ending the HIV epidemic in the United States.

Now, that Trump program is one of several health initiatives targeted for substantial cuts by members of his own party as they eye next year's elections.

Pushing a slate of conservative political priorities that also takes aim at sex education for teens, health worker vaccine mandates, and more, Republicans in the House of Representatives have proposed a spending bill that would cut $1.6 billion from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — one-sixth of the agency's budget.

It's interesting that liberals are for masking (almost no evidence that it prevents COVID or the flu) but seem to be against condoms which have a high success rate of preventing HIV. Go figure.

IMHO they really do not care, it's all about what they think they can brag about to get votes.
