HIV Crisis Looms Amid Global Aid Cuts
Aude Lecrubier April 08, 2025
According to a study published in The Lancet HIV, recent and planned international budget cuts could result in 4.4-10.8 million new HIV infections by 2030 in low- and middle-income countries, with 0.8-2.9 million HIV-related deaths within 5 years.
Currently, five countries provide over 90% of international HIV funding: The United States (73%), the United Kingdom (9%), France (4%), Germany (3%), and the Netherlands (2%).
The study noted that “the announced cuts represent a 4.4% reduction in total global international HIV funding in 2025 and a further 19.6% cut in 2026, a total reduction of 24%.”
