EHE funding

Overview

Ending the HIV epidemic means halting HIV transmission, removing barriers to prevention and treatment, and ending HIV-related stigma for all. Unprecedented medical and technological advancements have given us the opportunity to make this vision a reality. Advancements like more effective HIV treatment, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), telehealth, telePrEP, HIV self-testing, and mobile testing ensure success is possible.

Reaching EHE goals by 2030 would prevent 255,000 HIV cases and save $100 billion in direct lifetime medical costs. Since 2019, CDC and other participating agencies have awarded health departments in 57 priority areas hundreds of millions of dollars. This funding is used to expand innovative approaches to HIV prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and cluster and outbreak response.
