"Global HIV assistance is projected to drop by 30 to 40 percent in 2025 compared with 2023, according to Overcoming Disruption, Transforming the AIDS Response. If things continue this way and countries fail reach the 2030 targets of the next Global AIDS Strategy, the cuts could result in an additional 3.3 million new HIV infections between 2025 and 2030."
""The funding crisis has exposed the fragility of the progress we fought so hard to achieve," Winnie Byanyima, Executive Director of UNAIDS, said in a statement. "Behind every data point in this report are people-babies and children missed for HIV screening or early HIV diagnosis, young women cut off from prevention support, and communities suddenly left without services and care. We cannot abandon them. We must overcome this disruption and transform the AIDS response.""
"In 2024, there were already 570 new HIV infections every day globally among young women and girls ages 15 to 24. Now, more than 60 percent of women-led organizations worldwide have suspended programs. Services for sex workers, people who inject drugs, and LGBTQ+ people - particularly gay men and transgender people - have also been severely impacted."
Global HIV assistance is projected to drop by 30 to 40 percent in 2025 compared with 2023, potentially leading to an additional 3.3 million new HIV infections between 2025 and 2030 if 2030 targets are missed. Funding reductions have forced more than 60 percent of women-led organizations to suspend programs and have severely impacted services for sex workers, people who inject drugs, gay men, and transgender people. In 2024 there were already 570 new HIV infections daily among women and girls ages 15–24. Dissolution of USAID and frozen PEPFAR funding contributed to medication and prevention disruptions.
