How will countries fund and sustain their national HIV responses moving forward? This was a central question at the recent 13th International AIDS Society Conference on HIV Science (IAS 2025) in Kigali, Rwanda.

While this funding – and its associated systems, processes and people power – has been built up over decades, its removal has been swift and brutal. And while there has been a move towards more sustainable national HIV responses, the current situation is forcing a rapid fast forward. As Tione Chilambe from the National AIDS Commission in Malawi expressed it, they knew that funding would slowly dwindle, but not take a “nosedive” as it did.
