Riddle me this. When does "saving money" end up costing us all more? The CDC’s Division of HIV Prevention, or DHP, has been eviscerated in recent weeks as part of so-called “reductions in force”, and, in yesterday’s budget leak, HIV prevention appeared to be completely eliminated from the HHS budget for FY 2026. Cuts to DHP, which passes along 89% of its funding directly to state and local HIV programs, will hit states such as Alabama and Mississippi particularly hard as they depend on the division to fund up to 100% of their HIV prevention efforts. According to recent analysis from amfAR, a 100% reduction in DHP funding will lead to 143,486 new HIV infections by 2030, 14,676 additional AIDS related deaths, and $60.3B in additional lifetime healthcare costs.

关于我们
Founded in 1984 by a small group of concerned citizens as “Friends Who Care”, the Southern Tier AIDS Program began with $50,000, three staff, donated office space and a desire to ease the suffering of our friends who were dying. Thirty-seven years later STAP is an organization of 75+ professional staff and an operating budget of 3 million dollars annually. The passion and creativity that began this organization continues to inform us today as we provide supportive services to HIV+ persons and state of the art prevention education from 9 offices in 8 counties (Broome, Chenango, Chemung, Cortland, Delaware, Otsego, Tioga and Tompkins) of the Southern Tier of New York. Our mission is to compassionately and competently meet the evolving needs of our communities by serving people affected by chronic illness and to improve public health through disease prevention, care coordination and advocacy.

With lifetime treatment costs for 1 HIV infection approaching $500,000, this seems penny wise and pound foolish. https://lnkd.in/gDiB2AAh

It is never the good guys trying to bury the truth of history. We will remember the people who attempted to "disappear" our trans friends and family. https://lnkd.in/d4fzTjGB
