President Trump’s HIV Plan Is Too Valuable to Lose

In 2019, President Trump announced a plan to end the HIV epidemic by 2030. This Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) initiative, building on existing prevention and care programs, has significantly decreased new HIV infections in the United States and lowered the financial burden unnecessary HIV infections place on federal, state, and local governments.

According to the O’Neill Institute, there were 6,700 fewer new cases of HIV nationally in 2022 than in 2016, for a savings of more than $2.8 billion in lifetime treatment costs.
