The head of the UN AIDS agency is worried about a possible increase in HIV infections. This is because the US might stop giving money to the biggest program that fights AIDS.
New HIV infections have been going down, but they could go up a lot if the US stops its support. This could mean millions of people might die and the disease could become harder to treat.
The US government is thinking about cutting almost all of its money for foreign aid. This has caused a lot of fear and problems in African countries that rely on this money to fight AIDS.
The head of the UN AIDS agency asked the US to think again about cutting the money. She said it would be better to slowly reduce the money over time instead of stopping it all at once.
She also said that other countries haven't promised to give more money yet. She plans to talk to leaders from other countries to ask for their help in fighting AIDS.
