Reports Show Sharp Drop in Global HIV Funding in 2025

Global HIV response funding declined sharply in 2025, increasing concerns that progress toward ending AIDS as a public health threat by 2030 could stall.

Donor government funding for HIV programs in low- and middle-income countries fell by $2.1 billion, with total disbursements dropping 25% from $8.3 billion in 2024 to $6.2 billion in 2025—the lowest level since 2007. Reports indicate reduced investments in HIV prevention and community services could contribute to renewed transmission, while no major donors have announced plans to offset the funding gap.

The findings highlight growing uncertainty about sustaining global HIV prevention, treatment, and response efforts. Read the full article from The Hill here.
