UNAIDS reports US funding cuts since January 2025 disrupted HIV prevention in dozens of countries, risking 3.3 million more infections by 2030, with clinics closed and access to medicines declining.
- UNAIDS warned that global HIV funding cuts during the Trump era resulted in widespread disruptions to life-saving testing, treatment, and prevention services.
- The executive director said the funding crisis exposed the fragility of progress against HIV/AIDS and could lead to 3.3 million additional new infections by 2030 if left unaddressed.
- Despite a 40% reduction in new HIV cases since 2010, the disease remains over three times higher than needed to end AIDS as a public health threat by 2030, according to UNAIDS.
