The U.S. health department said on Tuesday it is reviewing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's HIV prevention division for overlap with other agencies but no final decision had been made about its future.
The Department of Health and Human Services made the statement after the WSJ and NBC, citing unnamed sources, reported the division could be dismantled.
The CDC's $1.3 billion Division of HIV Prevention is tasked with tracking infections across the United States and promoting testing and prevention, including the use of the HIV prevention medications, also known as PrEP.
