A new report from KFF and The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) reveals that donor governments disbursed US$8.2 billion in 2022 to combat HIV in low- and middle-income countries, returning to 2020 funding levels and still below the high-water mark of $8.6 billion in 2014.
This Health Policy 101 chapter outlines the U.S. government's efforts in global health, which aim to improve health in low- and middle-income countries while supporting U.S. global development, national security, and foreign policy goals. As the largest funder of global health programs worldwide, the U.S. provides bilateral and multilateral support to address major global health areas such as HIV and maternal and child health. Key issues addressed include U.S. global health leadership in a challenging U.S. political and budget environment, helping countries prepare for unexpected health challenges, and sustainability in the context of weak health systems and equity challenges.
Half of the 14 donor governments analyzed in the study decreased their spending on global HIV efforts from 2018 to 2019; six increased; and one held steady. Donor government funding supports HIV care and treatment, prevention and other services in low- and middle-income countries.
This updated fact sheet provides the latest data on the global HIV/AIDS epidemic, including impact on affected and vulnerable populations, treatment and prevention efforts, and an overview of the U.S. and global responses to the epidemic.
