The US government shutdown that began at midnight on October 1 has stalled key public health operations just as the Supreme Court issued a ruling in AVAC v. Department of State that allowed $4 billion dollars in foreign aid to expire, eroding both health and human services and constitutional checks and balances. Meanwhile, Jeanne Marrazzo was officially fired as Director of NIAID, underscoring how politically motivated attacks on science are dismantling the infrastructure that has underpinned decades of progress in HIV prevention and research.

Prevention Option:
Late today in AVAC v Department of State and Global Health Council v Trump, the Supreme Court of the United States granted the US Presidential Administration’s request to stay an injunction that would require the Administration to obligate $4 billion of foreign assistance funds before they expire on September 30, as required by law. The Court’s ruling temporarily grants the Administration’s request to pause a lower court order that the government spend the funds. With just four days until September 30, those funds, which otherwise would have saved lives and advanced global health and national security, will remain unspent.
Prevention Option:
The stakes are high as the US approaches the start of a new fiscal year (FY26) on October 1, currently mired in stalled White House negotiations and a looming government shutdown; the Supreme Court’s pending decision on AVAC’s lawsuit; and the new US “America First” strategy to reshape foreign aid. This issue highlights major global health developments at the UN General Assembly, from debate over the future of UNAIDS to commitments from the Gates Foundation and Unitaid to accelerate access to injectable lenacapavir for PrEP (LEN), alongside new discussions on AI ethics and health.
Prevention Option:
AVAC welcomes parallel announcements from the Gates Foundation and Unitaid on strategic investments to accelerate the development of, access to and price reduction for generic versions of injectable lenacapavir (LEN), the highly effective six-monthly injection for HIV PrEP.
Recent Supreme Court rulings could dramatically expand executive power over spending historically controlled by Congress. Coupled with CDC and vaccine policy turmoil, changes to PEPFAR’s planning process, and the State Department’s new “America First” global health strategy, these developments represent high stakes for HIV programs and the future of foreign aid for global health.
This week Global Health Watch covers major developments from a Supreme Court decision stalling foreign aid disbursements (again), to the US House’s fiscal year (FY26) budget drafts, and the Global Fund’s updated report and shifting focus....

Congress faces a looming deadline to avert a government shutdown if they cannot agree to a bipartisan fiscal year 2026 federal budget. In this context, the FY26 appropriations process, the President’s request for “pocket rescissions” to claw back Congressionally appropriated funds, AVAC’s court case, and PEPFAR’s reemergence to rollout long-acting PrEP take on heightened urgency.
