amfAR report
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.
The study found that at least 1,714 HIV service sites around the world, including public health facilities, mobile clinics, drop-in centers, and specialized HIV facilities, closed entirely after terminated or delayed PEPFAR payments. Almost no organizations were able to replace lost funding from other sources.
