For more than two decades, the United States Government has been a steadfast leader in the global HIV response through the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria and through its support to the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS).
The importance of the United States contribution to the global HIV response cannot be overstated. Since its creation in 2003, PEPFAR has saved more than 26 million lives by investing in critical HIV prevention, treatment, care and support programs in 55 countries.
The United States Government has recently issued an immediate pause on U.S. foreign assistance for assessment of programmatic efficiencies and consistency with United States foreign policy. This pause has impacted PEPFAR’s ability to continue the programmes and services for millions of people living with and affected by HIV.
UNAIDS is responding to ongoing developments by mobilizing partners, governments, and communities to assess and mitigate the
impact of the pause on the continuity of essential HIV services. This portal exists to provide real-time, ongoing updates to share the latest global and country information, data, guidance, and other resources related to the impact of these developments across 55 countries and on the global HIV response.
