New amfAR report affirms the importance of investing in tailored prevention services to decrease new HIV infections.
amfAR’s Public Policy Office released a report analyzing HIV epidemics in 25 countries receiving assistance from PEPFAR (the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief) in FY2024.
Progress in the prevention of HIV has been significant overall—with the introduction of new HIV prevention medications and technologies which have the potential to reshape the global landscape. However, members of key populations and their partners continue to suffer disproportionately high rates of HIV and have need for targeted prevention efforts in order to benefit equally from these advancements.
Estimates show that key populations and their partners accounted for 55% of new HIV infections globally in 2022 and 49% of global new HIV infections in 2024. While global health program funding from PEPFAR and the Global Fund have long recognized the importance of prioritizing prevention efforts and other services tailored to key populations, current funding trends and shifted priorities threaten to derail this progress.
