Funding and Results

Launched in 2003 by President George W. Bush with strong bipartisan support, the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) is America’s commitment to fighting the global HIV/AIDS pandemic. Through shared responsibility and smart investments, PEPFAR is saving lives, building more secure families and helping to stabilize fragile nations. With the generous support of the American people, the U.S. Government has committed approximately $46 billion to bilateral HIV/AIDS programs, the Global Fund to Fight HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, and bilateral TB programs through fiscal year (FY) 2010.

PEPFAR’s success is measured in lives improved and saved. At the midpoint of 2011, PEPFAR directly supported life-saving antiretroviral treatment for more than 4.5 million men, women and children worldwide—a 160% increase since 2008. In FY 2011, PEPFAR directly supported antiretroviral prophylaxis to prevent HIV infection from mother to child for more than 660,000 pregnant women who tested positive for HIV – a 72% increase since 2008. As a result, 200,000 infants were born HIV-free.

Through its bilateral and regional partnerships in over 70 countries, PEPFAR directly supported 13 million people with care and support, including nearly 4.1 million orphans and vulnerable children, in fiscal year 2011 alone. PEPFAR is leading with science and making smart investments to save lives. With continued support from the U.S. Congress, PEPFAR will continue working to meet President Obama’s goal of treating 6 million people by the end of 2013.

For FY 2012, President Obama requested $7.2 billion, including $5.6 billion for bilateral HIV/AIDS programs, $1.3 billion for the Global Fund, and $254 million for bilateral TB programs. For FY 2013, President Obama is requesting $6.4 billion, including more than $4.5 billion for bilateral HIV/AIDS programs, $1.6 billion for the Global Fund, and $232 million for bilateral TB programs.
