The HIV Prevention Now Act would provide $2.165 billion in federal funding specifically for HIV, viral hepatitis, sexually transmitted disease, and tuberculosis prevention programs at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention during fiscal year 2026. This money would be additional to existing CDC funding and must be used exclusively for these disease prevention activities at the National Center for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and Tuberculosis Prevention, with no ability to redirect it elsewhere. The bill affects public health agencies and communities nationwide that rely on federal resources for disease prevention, testing, education, and treatment support services. The funding is a one-time appropriation for fiscal year 2026, and the bill was introduced by a bipartisan group of House members and referred to the Appropriations Committee.
