Donor Government Funding for HIV Dropped by $2.1 Billion in 2025 Due to Declines in U.S. Disbursements, Marking the Largest Annual Decrease Since HIV Response Scale Up Began
Donor government funding to combat HIV in low- and middle-income countries fell by $2.1 billion in 2025, a 25% decrease from the previous year. The 2025 decrease was driven by a decline in U.S. disbursements following the administration’s substantial cuts in global health funding, programs, and personnel. Despite this decline, the U.S. remains the largest donor to HIV in the world.
