Global HIV funding cuts threaten epidemic response
Global funding cuts are jeopardizing progress against HIV by limiting access to prevention innovations, research, and community-led services, while US and Trump-era funding shifts are markedly reducing HIV prevention and pediatric treatment across multiple countries, threatening gains in HIV prevention, care, and research highlighted at AIDS 2026. The impact includes thousands of fewer children receiving US-supported HIV treatment, disruptions to PEPFAR-funded programs, and concerns about increased transmission and gaps in pediatric HIV care and MTCT prevention.
