­Unprecedented Cuts Across Health and Human Services Put Lives in Peril

More than one million people living with HIV in the U.S. rely on services that can only be provided by a fully funded HIV response.

Reductions across the Department of Health and Human Services will erode all the major progress that has been made since 2019 and significantly undermine decades of bipartisan progress and risk reversing hard-won gains in HIV prevention, treatment, and research.
