134 Members of Congress are urging the Administration to release $7.5B in unspent global health funding before it expires Sept 30—including $3B+ that supports PEPFAR. Last year's cuts meant 2M fewer patients treated. Read the letter: bit.ly/4qXQYot

HIV prevention services are being defunded, even as serious inequities persist in the fight to #EndTheEpidemic: ➡️ 12% of all AIDS-related deaths in 2024 were among children, though they account for only 3% of all people living with HIV

We're closer than ever to ending HIV/AIDS. 87% of people living with HIV know their status, and 89% are on treatment. But after 1.3 million new infections in 2024, there’s much work to be done. We can finish this fight, but it means we must #FundWhatWorks #HIVPrevention #WAD2025

The Global Fund partnership is fighting the deadliest infectious diseases in the most crisis-affected parts of the world. Together, we have saved 70 million lives. But there is still more work to do. HIV, TB and malaria have threatened humanity for too long.

The global HIV response is at a crisis point—we cannot afford to step down. Countries must sustain HIV services and increase national HIV budgets. Donor countries must support a smooth transition from aid dependency to sustainable independence.

Lawmakers allocated $6 billion this fiscal year for PEPFAR, the H.I.V. prevention and treatment program, but the administration has indicated it will release less than half of that: ow.ly/cqTb50WKsMS

26.9 million lives have been saved thanks to HIV treatment since the start of the epidemic. We have the tools and know what works. Now, countries must stay committed and global support must continue—to keep saving lives. Read the #GlobalAIDSUpdate2025 from @unaids.org ➡️ ow.ly/XKxn50WJKxq

Though we are pleased to see PEPFAR removed from the rescissions package, its passage sets a dangerous precedent, signaling that future administrations could unilaterally disregard Congressionally approved funding. Read our full statement: ow.ly/VpUL50WrSLE #HIVFunding #PEPFAR #Rescissions

Cutting $900 million from global health programs—including $400 mil from #PEPFAR— undermines US leadership in international health & security efforts, puts lives at risk, and damages America’s standing, influence, & security interests. Congress must reject the administration's #rescissions package.

Global AIDS Policy Partnership (GAPP) @gappdc.bsky.social · 02/07/2025
Thank you, Senator McConnell, for your leadership at last week's Senate Appropriations Committee hearing on the rescissions package. #PEPFAR saves lives and strengthens America's soft power; it requires protection, not cuts.

Let's set the record straight: PEPFAR provides comprehensive HIV services for almost 3 million adolescent girls and young women. It equips them with the knowledge & skills to make informed decisions about their health & well-being. #ProtectPEPFAR globalaidspolicy.org/protectpepfar/

Let's set the record straight: PEPFAR dramatically reduces the risk of men acquiring HIV. Voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) is one of the most cost-effective ways to reduce transmission from women to men, and PEPFAR is its largest funder. #ProtectPEPFAR globalaidspolicy.org/protectpepfar/

Just 0.1% of U.S. spending has changed the trajectory of the HIV epidemic thanks to innovations made possible by American workers. U.S. hashtag#ForeignAid for HIV has created jobs in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, research, manufacturing, & other industries. Let's keep Americans working.

From our partners at AVAC: Leading groups in DC are seeking photos and videos of what's happening "on the ground" because of the freeze, such as clinic closures despite the waiver or videos of patients not having access to HIV medication. Contact media@avac.org for more.

Global AIDS Policy Partnership (GAPP) @gappdc.bsky.social · 07/02/2025
With just 0.1% of U.S. spending, we save lives AND stimulate the U.S. economy. US #ForeignAid for HIV increases demand for pharmaceuticals, medical supplies, and other U.S. goods, keeping American companies in business. That's what we call a strong ROI.
