The Global HIV Prevention Coalition urges the United States Government to continue its global leadership role
For the past two decades the United States Government has been an exemplary and steadfast leader in HIV prevention, providing two-thirds of international financing for HIV prevention in low- and middle-income countries. However, a 90-day pause in United States foreign development assistance issued by the United States Government on 20 January 2025 has thrown progress in global HIV prevention into turmoil.

The high-quality HIV prevention and treatment programmes supported by the U.S. Government over the past 20 years, including during the first Trump administration, have been highly effective. In 2024, the United States Government provided over 83.8 million people with critical HIV testing services in 55 low- and middle-income countries, reached 2.3 million adolescent girls and young women with HIV prevention services, and enrolled 2.5 million people on pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP, medicine to prevent HIV infections). |
