The Global Fund has urged Zimbabwe to prioritize gays and sex workers in its HIV and AIDS programming if she is to be considered for funding.
Zimbabwe gets 35% of its AIDS funding from the Global Fund, which is a pool of international AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria donors.
Sex workers, prisoners and the gays are discriminated against by the when it talks about HIV and AIDS management and programming because of politics and moral issues which are always raised against them.
There are also laws which criminalize gay activities and prostitution which make it difficult for those engaging in such activities to approach health care centres seeking for services if they become sick.
In an interview with Zimeye,French Ambassador for HIV/Aids, TB, Malaria and transmittable diseases, Philippe Meunier, and Global Fund board member ,said they (Global Fund) were going to consider funding for nations which prioritize these marginalized groups in their health programmes.
“It is a key priority that what we want to reach out is the marginalized populations. If we do not do it we won’t be efficient .It is also a question of investing in human health so it is really a high priority,’ he said.
“The question is equal access to health and this means we must have a level playing field around, and we cannot have stigma discrimination and things like that. We mean normal access to health”.
France is the second largest contributor to the pool.

People with Satanic tendencies aren’t marginalized at all. The people pressed for lack of finance to give up righteous laws in order to get funding are the marginalized group.
Its satan using money to push his agenda which is an abomination in the eyes of God. Once we give in and play an “understanding heart to the hardened evil”, God turns away His face from the stench and more people will die from those and more incurable diseases.
Homosexuality isn’t a thing to be tolerated until kingdom come. A demon is not a disability. There is no AIDS and TB talk that discriminates people with sick perverted sexual tendencies. Everyone knows unprotected sex and blood contact is risky for everyone. And no one can tell a gay from a good person by mere looking if they aren’t cross dressing fools.
Please people of God in Zimbabwe, pray without ceasing that those evil people with their evil money perish.
