South Sudan's five-year civil war is quietly creating another kind of victim: those prevented from getting life-saving antiretroviral medicine. The United States is the largest donor to South Sudan's HIV programs at about $20 million a year. The U.S. since 2006 has funded a program aimed at testing and treating South Sudan's soldiers for HIV. In an attempt to reach people displaced by the fighting, at least one aid group has started bringing HIV treatment to some of South Sudan's most vulnerable people. The civil war has forced many families to flee into the bush and farther away from access to care, he said.
