Funding and Results

in 2003 by President George W. Bush with strong bipartisan support from the U.S. Congress, the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) is America’s commitment to fighting the global AIDS epidemic. 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) 2012.

PEPFAR’s success is measured in lives improved and saved.

  • The U.S. directly supported life-saving antiretroviral treatment for more than 5.1 million men, women, and children worldwide as of September 30, 2012, up from 1.7 million in 2008.
  • PEPFAR directly supported HIV testing and counseling for more than 11 million pregnant women in fiscal year 2012. PEPFAR supported antiretroviral drug prophylaxis to more than 750,000 pregnant women with HIV to prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV, allowing approximately 230,000 infants to be born without HIV.
  • PEPFAR directly supported more than 15 million people with care and support, including more than 4.5 million orphans and vulnerable children, in fiscal year 2012.
  • PEPFAR directly supported HIV testing and counseling for more than 46.5 million people in fiscal year 2012, providing a critical entry point to prevention, treatment, and care.

With continued support from the U.S. Congress, PEPFAR is on track to meet President Obama’s target goal of treating more than 6 million people by the end of 2013.

  • For FY 2013, President Obama requested $6.42 billion, including more than $4.54 billion for bilateral HIV/AIDS programs and $1.65 billion for the Global Fund.
  • For FY 2014, President Obama is requesting $6.73 billion, including more than $4.88 billion for bilateral HIV/AIDS programs and $1.65 billion for the Global Fund.
