As WorldPride is underway this weekend in Washington, D.C., a rally and march are planned for Sunday to protest the Trump administration's actions affecting the LGBTQ+ community, such as cutting funding for health research. Many researchers in areas like gender affirming care and HIV/AIDS have lost federal grants. @AliRogin sat down with @Mustanski, director of the Impact Institute for LGBTQ health research, to learn more.

"We are on the precipice of being able to end HIV in our country," ISGMH's @Mustanski tells @axios. "We have the tools to solve it, ... but if we back off that, if we take our foot off the pedal, we will have more #HIV cases in the United States." axios.com/local/chicago/2025…
