Save HIV Funding

Members of the Save HIV Funding campaign are united in our commitment to protect federal funding and infrastructure supporting access to HIV, STI, Viral Hepatitis, and Substance Use Prevention, Care and Support Services and the continuation of HIV research through collective action and the engagement of community members and legislators.

Save HIV Funding is supported by over 110 organizations seeking to defend and advance the progress we have made over four decades of fighting this terrible epidemic.

PrEP4All, AVAC, and the HIV Medicine Association in partnership with the Federal AIDS Policy Partnership launched the Save HIV Funding campaign in 2023 in response to proposed cuts to federal HIV funding. With bipartisan support, we were able to successfully avert $767 million in domestic HIV funding cuts proposed by Congress.

At the start of 2025, advocates expanded the campaign in response to the Trump Administration’s efforts to aggressively dismantle essential HIV funding and infrastructure.

• Advocates call on President Trump, his administration, and members of Congress to protect existing HIV funding and clearly communicate how HIV prevention, care, treatment, and related services will be protected.

• Congress and other policy makers must reject cuts to federal programs for HIV and related prevention, treatment and research that will set the HIV response back decades.

• We urge Congress to oppose any proposals that would reduce Medicaid funding or restrict access to essential HIV services.

Any of these threats individually would be enough to derail efforts to end HIV as an epidemic. Combined, the cancellation of existing grants, threats of 2026 funding cuts, and attacks on Medicaid would be a costly disaster for the US HIV response.

According to amFAR, slashing critical HIV prevention funding and infrastructure will lead to 143,000 new HIV infections and 127,000 AIDS-related deaths, making it impossible to meet the federal deadline of ending the HIV epidemic by 2030.
