Everyone has the right to a healthy life. The Elton John AIDS Foundation is committed to overcoming HIV and LGBTQ+ stigma, discrimination, and neglect that prevents us from ending AIDS for everyone, everywhere. https://www.eltonjohnaidsfoundation.org/

A quote by Elton John reads: "The world can end AIDS. What is missing is courage. The courage to not look away."

"There's no question that this is the most serious disruption in the HIV response since the world came together to fight this disease." - Winnie Byanyuma, Executive Director, UNAIDS

A statement graphic from the Elton John AIDS Foundation:

We applaud the U.S. House Appropriations Committee for providing billions of dollars in 2027 for the fight against AIDS around the world.

This funding will help countries gradually take over and run their own HIV programs, while also supporting the important work of The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria.

As the process moves forward in the Senate, we hope that additional resources can be found to ensure the U.S. pledge to the Global Fund of $4.6 billion over three years is reached on an annual basis.

We also hope immediate ‘bridge’ funding will be sent to the front lines to help keep people alive while new agreements with partner countries are finalized.

Photo of Anne Aslett with three young women. Quote reads: "Women and girls are not inherently more vulnerable to HIV; inequality puts them at risk.

Gender-based violence, barriers to education and healthcare, poverty and stigma all drive that vulnerability.

If we are serious about ending AIDS, we must dismantle the structural barriers that continue to endanger women and girls." - Anne Aslett

Mandisa Moore-O'Neal, Executive Director of The Center for HIV Law and Policy: "Our partnership with the Elton John AIDS Foundation means we are able to provide intersectional HIV legal and policy technical assistance to over 20 states, while also providing specialized support as needed. Our communities know they can rely on us for liberatory policy solutions."

People hand out harm reduction tools. Text reads: 89% of every dollar goes straight to our mission.

Statement:

As we welcome the new year, we renew our commitment to leave no one behind. We believe in a future where every person affected by HIV has access to lifesaving prevention, treatment and the compassionate care they deserve.

The past year reminded us that progress is never guaranteed, but it also showed us what's possible when communities lead with courage and care. Their resilience fuels our hope and calls us to move faster and stand stronger.

To everyone who stands with us, speaks out and takes action, thank you for refusing to look away.
