- The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) reported that global Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) funding fell by US$1.5 billion in 2025, threatening the goal of ending acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) as a public health threat by 2030.
- International HIV funding declined from US$8.8 billion in 2024 to US$7.3 billion in 2025, the lowest level in nearly two decades.
- Low- and middle-income countries require US$21.9 billion annually for HIV programmes, but only US$17.6 billion was available in 2025, leaving a US$4.3 billion funding gap.
- Funding cuts disrupted HIV prevention, treatment, medicine supply chains, and community health services, especially in sub-Saharan Africa.
- The 2026 Political Declaration on HIV and AIDS, adopted by 149 United Nations (UN) Member States, aims to expand treatment and prevention to help end AIDS as a public health threat by 2030.
