Donor government funding for HIV drops by $2.1 billion in 2025 due to declines in funding from the United States, marking largest annual decrease since scale-up for the HIV response began
KFF/UNAIDS news release
Donor government funding to combat HIV in low- and middle-income countries fell by $2.1 billion in 2025, a 25% decrease from the previous year, according to a new report by KFF and the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS).
Total disbursements dropped to $6.2 billion in 2025, down from $8.3 billion in 2024, marking the largest single-year decline since donor funding scale-up began and the lowest funding level since 2007, the report finds.
The 2025 decrease was driven by a decline in U.S. disbursements following the administration’s substantial cuts in global health funding, programs, and personnel. Despite this decline, the U.S. remains the largest donor to HIV in the world.
