The Trump administration announced Wednesday that it will not commemorate World AIDS Day on Dec. 1.
Since 1988, Americans have mourned people who died of the disease and used the day to help remember the major efforts to contain the epidemic and raise global awareness, according to The New York Times.
The State Department has told employees and grantees not to use any federal funds to commemorate the day and “refrain from messaging on any commemorative days, including World AIDS Day.
Employees can still talk about the work done “to counter this dangerous disease and other infectious diseases around the world," or attend events related to remembering people who died from AIDS.
"The Trump administration froze foreign aid early in the year, derailing many public health programs dedicated to fighting H.I.V., the virus that causes AIDS," The Times reported. "Modeling studies have suggested that cuts by the United States and other countries could result in 10 million additional H.I.V. infections, including one million among children, and three million additional deaths over the next five years."
