A recent study conducted by Reuters found that approximately 77,000 fewer children globally have been receiving US-backed HIV treatments since October 2025. This decline in access to HIV treatment is attributed to aid cuts made by the Trump administration. [1] [2] and [4] all report on a similar study finding that around 77,000 fewer children worldwide received HIV treatment supported by the U.S. after the Trump administration's cuts to global health funding. The studies cite different sources for their data but agree on this key statistic. The impact of these aid cuts extends beyond just the number of children receiving treatment. [3] and [6] mention that Trump’s aid cuts have forced thousands of HIV services to shut down, indicating a broader disruption in healthcare access due to funding reductions. [5], [7] also report on the same study finding but from different news outlets. While these sources agree on the main point—that fewer children received US-backed HIV treatment—there is no significant disagreement among them regarding this core fact.
