Additional Context: Data collected by UNAIDS in 2026 from countries around the world show that HIV funding disruptions severely impacted HIV prevention, testing, critical interventions addressing barriers to services, and community-led services that reach the people most affected by HIV.

Devex Researcher Note: Condom distribution and awareness activities were activities of sexual and reproductive health or family planning programs, of which the U.S. financed 43% globally. The U.S. also accounted for 25% of global contraceptive commodity procurement. On-the-ground effects of the cuts have been felt in regions of Kenya, where condom availability fell by 47.2% following U.S. cuts. There are also reports of condom programming being excluded even where U.S. health funding has been reinstated — in Haiti, distribution programs were explicitly restricted under new funding rules.
