Event Summary
This webinar aims to disseminate findings from the survey conducted between March 27 and April
22, 2025, assessing the impact of the US 90-day funding pause on HIV programmes and services in
the Caribbean. The survey highlights significant disruptions to community-based HIV services,
financial instability for organisations, and adverse effects on vulnerable populations, including
LGBTQI individuals, people living with HIV, sex workers, migrants, young people, and women. The
webinar will provide a platform to discuss these findings, explore resilience strategies, and
advocate for sustainable funding models to support HIV services in the region.
