AVAC has taken an extraordinary step to protect global health. This week we sued the U.S. State Department and Presidential Administration to challenge the devastating freeze on foreign aid funding that is threatening lifesaving programs worldwide. Read about it in the New York Times and Devex.
Right now, critical HIV prevention initiatives—including those that support PrEP access and the development of new HIV prevention options—are being disrupted because of politically motivated funding decisions. But this lawsuit is about more than HIV prevention; it’s about holding the U.S. government accountable for its commitments to public health and human rights.
But we can’t do this alone. We need your support to sustain this fight and ensure that our partners and communities most at risk for HIV are not left behind.

Your Support Will Help Us:
- Fight to reinstate essential PEPFAR-funded programs.
- Ensure the U.S. government follows the law and honors its commitments.
- Continue to advocate for evidence-based HIV prevention strategies worldwide.
This is a defining moment for HIV prevention and global health equity. Stand with us.
