Abstract: The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which leads to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) epidemic, is a global concern in which billions of dollars have been poured into various countries for the prevention and management of this life threatening disease. African countries contain the highest populations of individuals carrying HIV, and the majority of global funding is poured into the Sub-Saharan region. The purpose of this report is to explore and examine the source and utilization of these funds from bilateral and unilateral countries and entities. The goal is to identify the origin of these funds that are estimated between US$7 and US$8 billion annually, and determine if the allocation of monies is reaching its potential recipients. Recommendations will be provided for any potential breaks in the logistical chain to ensure those in need are receiving these funds.
