The Global Fund’s impact against HIV/AIDS
In countries where the Global Fund invests, AIDS-related deaths have dropped by 65% since the Global Fund was founded in 2002. Of the 37.7 million people living with HIV, 27.5 million are on antiretroviral therapy today – 21.9 million in the countries where the Global Fund invests. The Global Fund’s Seventh Replenishment
The Global Fund’s Seventh Replenishment will take place in the U.S. in September 2022. It aims to raise at least US$18 billion to fund its next three-year cycle of grants. The Global Fund estimates that the funding of US$18 billion would save 20 million lives, cut HIV, TB and malaria deaths by 64% and strengthen health and community systems to reinforce pandemic preparedness.

The Global Fund is a worldwide movement to defeat HIV, TB and malaria and ensure a healthier, safer, more equitable future for all. We raise and invest more than US$4 billion a year to fight the deadliest infectious diseases, challenge the injustice which fuels them and strengthen health systems in more than 100 of the hardest hit countries. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have invested an additional US$4.3 billion to fight the new pandemic and reinforce systems for health. We unite world leaders, communities, civil society, health workers and the private sector to find solutions that have the most impact, and we take them to scale worldwide. Since 2002, the Global Fund has saved 44 million lives.
