A new study by amfAR and partners reveals that funding cuts to PEPFAR in 2025 have led to the closure of over 1,700 HIV service sites globally. The report highlights the critical impact of these disruptions on HIV prevention and treatment programs.
Why it matters
The loss of essential health infrastructure threatens decades of progress in the global fight against HIV/AIDS.
PEPFAR (the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief) has been an essential part of the global HIV response by providing funding to prevention, treatment, and care programs. Since its launch in 2003, it has helped to save more than 26 million lives. Yet funding cuts in 2025 have threatened the progress it helped create.
The PEPFAR Pulse Study, conducted by amfAR’s Public Policy Office with the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Funders Concerned About AIDS, and Data Etc. across 166 PEPFAR-funded organizations in 46 countries, helps understand what was lost, what remains, and how these changes reshaped HIV service delivery.
