Funding from donor governments to address HIV/AIDS in low- and middle-income countries fell to $7.5 billion in 2015, from $8.6 billion in 2014, the first decrease in five years, a report from the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation and UNAIDS finds. The report, Financing the Response to HIV in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: International Assistance from Donor Governments in 2015 (18 pages, PDF), examined international assistance to address AIDS through bilateral programs and multilateral contributions to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria and found that while some of the decline in funding was due to the appreciation of the U.S. dollar, eleven of the fourteen donor governments analyzed scaled back their funding for HIV in their own currencies. Moreover, bilateral assistance, which comprised 74 percent of the total, was down for all fourteen governments — with the U.S. government's decision to shift a chunk of its funding to 2016 accounting for 57 percent of the decline.
