Proposed cuts to federal HIV funding will come at a high cost

May 2, 2025

The drastic cuts to HIV public health and research programs proposed in the president’s budget would leave America’s HIV response in peril if enacted by Congress.    

From small towns to big cities, every state across the country may lose lifesaving HIV prevention, testing and research programs. The result will be more HIV infections nationwide, taking a devastating toll on health and the health care system.  

We are counting on Congress to keep Americans healthy by rejecting these ill-considered proposals.
