PxPulse: The Votes are In — What’s next for the US’ role in global health and HIV prevention

November 14, 2024

KFF’s Jen Kates and AVAC’s Suraj Madoori lay out the challenges and the priorities in 2025 and beyond.

In the days, months and years ahead under a new US Presidential Administration, advocacy for choice, freedom, science, and rights will require intentional strategies to protect hard fought gains in HIV treatment and prevention and in global health generally, and to safeguard policies and programs that advance it. And there will be major implications for the global AIDS response.

Navigating through the work ahead involves assessing the potential impact on PEPFAR and Global Fund support; on USAID, NIH, CDC and the FDA; on the US relationship to WHO and other UN agencies; and on evidence- and rights-based policies and programs generally. Joining us to begin those efforts and better understand the landscape for advocacy are Jen Kates from KFF and our own Suraj Madoori.
