The Trump administration is terminating $600 million in Centers for Disease Control and Prevention grants for programs supporting HIV and STD prevention and HIV surveillance.
A Department of Health and Human Services spokesperson told ABC News the cuts will impact public health funding in California, Colorado, Illinois and Minnesota and that the grants are being terminated "because they do not reflect agency priorities."
The grants affected include those issued to state and local health departments, hospitals, universities and non-governmental organizations.
Among the cuts are $1.1 million for HIV surveillance in Los Angeles County, $5.2 million to Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago to increase use of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) among Black cisgender women and $7 million for the city of Chicago to study populations that are disproportionately affected by STDs.
A spokesman for the Office of Management and Budget told ABC News the CDC cuts affect states with a "history of fraud and mismanagement."
