Ending HIV Zero out the epidemic NOT the budget

The U.S. has made remarkable progress against HIV. But that progress is in danger.

Funders Concerned About AIDS (FCAA) and amfAR (The Foundation for AIDS Research) assessed the proposed cuts to HIV/AIDS funding in the House of Representatives FY24 appropriations bill. A data visualization was created to highlight the impact these cuts might have across all HIV/AIDS programs and look specifically at the Ending the HIV in Epidemic in the U.S. program by way of example.

Supporting materials are available to help the community amplify these messages and advocate for protecting critical HIV/AIDS funding:

  • A social media toolkit
  • Information on how private funding complements -- or doesn't -- federal funding for the 57 EHE jurisdictions

We hope you will join us in sharing these messages as we advocate to protect critical HIV/AIDS funding!
