Learn how the federal government is supporting HIV/AIDS treatment and services.


How We're Spending

Each year, the U.S. government spends billions of dollars to help people in the United States and countries around the world who are living with HIV/AIDS.

By law, Federal programs must provide information on how they spend the funds they receive. Transparency in government promotes accountability, and provides meaningful access to information so that citizens can know what their government is doing and how Federal dollars are being spent.
