The Trump administration will not renew direct federal funding of community-based organizations that work on HIV prevention, according to multiple groups impacted by the freeze.<\/p>\n

The move is the latest step in the administration\u2019s push to eliminate funding for DEI-focused initiatives that help the LGBTQ community.<\/p>\n

But this one directly contradicts the White House\u2019s push to end the HIV epidemic by 2030.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Office of Management and Budget late last week told the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that it will not renew $46 million in funding for the 96 community-based organizations to provide HIV testing, linkage to care, referrals for pre- and post-exposure drug treatment\u00a0and outbreak response.<\/p>\n

Instead, the CDC is shifting resources to state and local health departments.<\/p>\n

Last week, the Trump administration put out a supplemental notice of funding to states encouraging them to give some money to the community-based organizations. But that supplemental funding would only last through May. Applications for the funding are due July 21.<\/p>\n

Spokespersons for the OMB and Department of Health and Human Services did not immediately respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n

When community-based organizations receive directly contracted federal funding, they can participate in the 340B drug discount program, which requires drugmakers to provide outpatient prescription drug discounts to qualifying health care organizations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When these grants end, these clinics would have a much more difficult time purchasing those drugs\u00a0because they\u2019re no longer in the 340B program, according to Carl Schmid, executive director at the HIV+Hepatitis Policy Institute.<\/p>\n

If states pick up the tab, that could help the clinics enroll in the 340B\u00a0program\u00a0\u2014 but that\u2019s not a very reliable option, as states are not required to spend that money.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes the states are a barrier, and others they\u2019re not,\u201d Schmid said.<\/p>\n

HIV advocacy groups are encouraging Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and acting CDC Director Jay Bhattacharya to reverse the decision and immediately fund the program.<\/p>\n

Appropriations<\/h2>\n

The White House\u2019s 2027 budget request proposed eliminating $800 million of CDC HIV prevention funding, and proposed $220 million for the President\u2019s Ending the HIV Epidemic Initiative. The House\u2019s fiscal 2027 Labor-HHS-Education bill would match the president\u2019s request.<\/p>\n

HIV prevention organizations and advocacy groups are lobbying the Senate to propose more funding for HIV prevention and include language in their budget report guaranteeing direct funding to community-based organizations to conduct HIV prevention activities.<\/p>\n

\u201cCongress is watching grant funding right now. Especially when they appropriate the funding,\u201d Schmid said.<\/p>\n
