美国领导的艾滋病毒治疗工作减少了全球艾滋病孤儿人数,但2025-2026年的资金削减威胁着进展。 U.S.-led HIV treatment efforts reduced AIDS orphans globally, but funding cuts in 2025–2026 threaten progress.

过去二十年来,全球与艾滋病有关的孤儿人数下降,主要是由于美国牵头努力扩大获得救生艾滋病毒药物的机会,特别是在中低收入国家。 A global decline in AIDS-related orphans over the past two decades is largely due to U.S.-led efforts to expand access to life-saving HIV medications, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. 这一持续的倡议减少了父母死于艾滋病的人数,防止了数百万儿童失去父母。 This sustained initiative reduced parental deaths from AIDS and prevented millions of children from losing a parent. 然而,2025年和2026年的外国援助资金中断,使人们担心进展可能会逆转,威胁继续获得治疗,增加更多儿童成为孤儿的风险。 However, disruptions in foreign aid funding in 2025 and 2026 have raised concerns that progress could reverse, threatening continued treatment access and increasing the risk of more children becoming orphans.
