Aid cuts threaten HIV prevention gains, UN warns
TL;DR Summary
A U.N. UNAIDS report warns that global HIV prevention progress is at risk due to major aid cuts, with PrEP use down 38% from 2024 to 2025 and condom funding slashed in some countries, threatening hard-won gains even as new infections fall to about 1.2 million in 2025 and AIDS deaths drop; roughly 9 million people remain untreated, and while treatment programs have stayed resilient, reduced prevention funding and weakened community services could undo progress, especially in sub-Saharan Africa.
