Study Finds 1,700 HIV Treatment Sites Shut After Trump Administration Funding Cuts

A recent study reports that 1,700 HIV treatment sites have shut down. The closures are linked to reductions in federal aid during the Trump administration. The funding cuts targeted programs that support HIV care. Researchers attribute the site closures directly to the aid reductions. The loss of facilities threatens access to treatment for patients. Children and high‑risk adult groups are reported as especially impacted. Public health officials warn the closures could reverse progress in HIV prevention. The study calls for renewed funding to restore services.
