Trump administration cuts $600 million in HIV, STD prevention and surveillance grants The Trump administration is terminating $600 million in CDC grants for programs supporting HIV and STD prevention and HIV surveillance.

This is cutting your nose to spite your face. Defunding hiv prevention and surveillance benefits no one regardless of who you voted for. Public health and disease prevention should not be partisan.

This World AIDS Day we are grateful for the heroic folks at Takalani Sesame and @sesameworkersunion.bsky.social for helping children remember parents and siblings lost to AIDS.

Decades of rigorous and scientifically sound research have proven that vaccines do not cause autism. CDC’s decision to change language on its website reversing that finding is reckless & harmful.

Our statement w/ @hivma.bsky.social, APIC, @sheaepi.bsky.social & @sidpharm.bsky.social: bit.ly/3XEc0KH

We call for the reversal of these dangerous firings, and for Congress to move quickly to pass full-year spending bills that ensure that proposed cuts to public health are averted and federal appropriations are spent as Congress intended.

Public health is for everyone and now it’s under attack.
