Since the first case of HIV in the United States almost 44 years ago, the country has made significant progress towards the eradication of the disease. Now, at the dawn at the end of the epidemic, the roadblocks of the second administration of President Donald Trump can threaten to stall this progress. The current administration has drawn millions of HIV subsidies and reducing essential staff positions for research and prevention – an inversion of Trump’s promise six years ago to put an end to the HIV epidemic by 2030. In its 2019 state of the address of the Union, Trump led to Trump to “defeat American attributions”. He supported this promise with funding which was in correlation with a decrease in new infections. Former President Joe Biden has kept the elevation of prevention and research funding on HIV / AIDS, which exceeded $ 1 billion in 2024. Research by the for Aids Research Foundation (AMFAR) estimates that there was a 20% reduction in new HIV infections from 2010 to 2022 due to the increase in funding. Trump 2026 Trump’s “lean budget” has not provided details on HIV prevention and research. This required a reduction of $ 77 million in funds for sexually transmitted CDC infections, infectious diseases and opioids, viral hepatitis and tuberculosis programs – a decrease of 20%. A health and social services spokesman said that HIV / AIDS critical programs would continue and that the region is a “high priority”. The first cases of HIV in the United States were reported on June 5, 1981. HIV is a virus that attacks a person’s immune system, making them vulnerable to diseases. It is most often propagated by unprotected sex or the sharing of needles. AIDS is the last stage in HIV. During 20 years after these first cases, at least 448,000 people with AIDS died. In 2023 – The last year that the CDC had available data – there have been nearly 4,500 HIV -related deaths. Although there has been a lot of scientific progress since the discovery of HIV for the first time, there is no remedy. There are preventive drugs and processing options for those who have HIV which can help make the virus undetectable and not transmitted. Today, around 1.2 million people live with HIV in the United States, according to CDC estimates. The number of new HIV infections has decreased, but experts warn that if funding is not maintained, progress could stop. One of these organizations – San Francisco Aids Foundation – is the main applicant in a case against the Trump administration. The case calls into question the legality of three decrees of Trump which call to put an end to the subsidies linked to diversity, equity and inclusion and gender identity. The CEO of San Francisco Aids Foundation, Tyler, Termer, said that the organization cannot do its job without an objective of equity, because black communities are affected in a disproportionate manner by HIV. Blacks represent nearly 40% of those who live with HIV in the United States, according to the CDC. In the South, stigma and limits to healthcare access more people put people in danger. In 2022, the southern states represented about half of the new HIV infections. There are also financial obstacles. HIV prevention and care are expensive for those who have no health insurance. The CDC has lost staff in its HIV division as part of Trump’s discounts through the federal government. Federal layoffs and financing cuts mean a program that has sent HIV test kits across the country – Takemehome together – will close before the end of the year, the Executive Director of the Travis Sanchez program said. Together Takemehome helps HIV -positive people, who otherwise would not have access to tests, learn from their status and take measures to avoid infecting others. Sanchez believes that since the launch of the program in 2023, he has led nearly 7,000 people to learn that they lived with HIV. The CDC also declared on its website that it could not continue to monitor the use of PREP, a drug that prevents infection by HIV, due to the reduction of HIV staff. The latest published research of 2022 revealed that around two thirds of people who could benefit from the preparation do not take it. Impacting each part of our country, ”said Terme. In the United States, HIV remains a global problem, with nearly 40 million people living with HIV from 2023. Africa is the most affected region. Trump cuts to USAID can represent 2,300 new HIV infections each day, according to an impact analysis of the United Nations.
