PEPFAR Program Impact Tracker
On January 24th, 2025, a 90-day suspension of foreign aid was ordered, affecting the PEPFAR Program which supports 20 million people living with HIV across 55 countries. The suspension impacts 222,000 people receiving daily HIV medication, 224,000 HIV tests performed daily, and essential services for vulnerable populations. The suspension affects 190,000 healthcare workers involved in global HIV response efforts. This page estimates impact in infant and adult deaths caused by this suspension of the PEPFAR Program to date.
A waiver has been issued, but it only applies to some of the lifesaving support provided by PEPFAR. Here is a link to the clarification of the waiver. The partial resumption of support continues to impact critical services.
Impact of Partial PEPFAR Funding Suspension: Estimated Deaths
This counter has been updated to reflect the estimated number of deaths that have occurred between January 24th, 2025, and today, as a result of the partial funding suspension. This methodology has been adjusted since the site's initial creation to provide an immediate impact assessment, rather than a long term assessment.
