Today, we begin our state-by-state series on how federal CDC funding cuts to HIV, Diabetes, and Cancer programs are impacting the South.

Starting with Alabama (available in English and Spanish). These cuts threaten prevention, testing, treatment access, and community health infrastructure in a state already facing significant health challenges. Funding for these programs is determined through the federal appropriations process, and decisions made in Congress have real, on-the-ground consequences for communities. Understanding the process is the first step; advocacy is how communities protect public health funding. Join the SAVeHIV Funding campaign to fight to protect critical HIV funding.
