The UK’s global HIV response prioritises those left behind by the huge progress made in recent years, including these four groups. For example, we are proud to be a founding supporter of the Robert Carr Civil Society Networks Fund, which supports the grassroots response led by those groups themselves. DFID reports bilateral aid expenditure annually against specific sector codes, including HIV and AIDS, to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. These are publically available on the Statistics for International Development website: GPEX tables. Granular data on proportion of spend targeting specific groups affected by HIV and AIDS are not compiled.
