The following document has been sent to Secretary Kennedy on behalf of the Federal AIDS Policy Partnership (FAPP). The letter expresses grave concern about recent Reduction in Force (RIF) actions and broader restructuring of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The result of these actions will be a severe weakening in the federal government’s capacity to carry out critical public health functions, support grantees, manage grants, oversee service delivery, and maintain national disease surveillance and research systems. The core functions these federal agencies perform cannot be absorbed by other agencies or shifted to state and local entities, which often rely on federal leadership, technical assistance, and funding guidance. FAPP stands ready to provide our assistance to end the HIV epidemic.
The following document has been sent to Secretary Kennedy on behalf of the Federal AIDS Policy Partnership (FAPP). The letter outlines the critical role DHP and HIV prevention funding plays in preventing new HIV transmissions, supporting state and local health departments, and sustaining the progress made toward ending the HIV epidemic. Cuts to HIV prevention funding would have devastating consequences, including the dismantling of critical prevention programs, disrupting HIV surveillance, and increasing new HIV transmissions nationwide. DHP funding is irreplaceable—no other federal agency has the infrastructure, expertise, or capacity to absorb its functions. FAPP stands ready to provide our assistance to end the HIV epidemic.
