UNAIDS urges that all essential HIV services must continue while U.S. pauses its funding for foreign aid

While continuity of HIV treatment is essential,  services must continue to be monitored, and oversight provided for quality.  Other critical HIV services for people, especially marginalized people including children, women, and key populations, must continue. Last year, PEPFAR provided over 83.8 million people with critical HIV testing services; reached 2.3 million adolescent girls and young women with HIV prevention services; 6.6 million orphans, vulnerable children, and their caregivers received HIV care and support; and 2.5 million people were newly enrolled on pre-exposure prophylaxis to prevent HIV infection.
