Trump administration

We cannot end HIV without a fully functioning and sufficiently funded HIV prevention program. If the administration has new ideas on how to conduct HIV prevention, including testing, surveillance, education and PrEP outreach, we are more than willing to discuss them. While we are making progress in reducing the number of new cases, and saving billions of dollars in the process, we must do better—32,000 new infections each year is far too many. But we cannot unilaterally cut the funding that Congress has appropriated and that states, local governments, and community-based organizations rely on to carry out their public health responsibilities to address HIV and other infectious diseases. Without those federal resources, the number of new cases and the lifetime costs of treating them will just, sadly, multiply.
