UNAIDS Weekly Update – Impact of US Shifts on the Global HIV Response

18 February 2025

As of 17 February 2024, UNAIDS had received at least one status report from 52 countries (39 PEPFAR-funded and 13 countries that receive some US support). The 39 countries represent 71% of all PEPFAR-funded countries. 

Collectively, these status reports reveal a range of significant impacts resulting from the US Government’s decision to freeze and review all US foreign assistance (see the chart below). The situation continues to evolve rapidly as waivers are requested, issued and implemented.

UNAIDS is also working at the country level to understand exactly which HIV services are not operational, and which populations are not being reached. It is essential to maintain high-impact HIV testing, treatment and prevention programmes and community-led services.
