In 2022, 80% of new HIV infections outside of sub-Saharan Africa, and 25% of infections in sub-Saharan Africa, were among key populations and their sexual partners. But funding for the HIV response is nowhere near what’s needed to provide comprehensive prevention, treatment, and empowerment activities for these groups. In 2023, there was a shortfall of 95.5% of needed funding for comprehensive prevention for key populations.

This report is the most comprehensive analysis of funding for the HIV response, and is a call to action for the global community to urgently increase funding for key populations. Without it, the goal of ending AIDS as a public health threat by 2030 may very well be out of reach.
