SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — The San Francisco Department of Public Health says the Centers for Disease Control is pulling $8 million in grants.
The department says the loss of funding will make it harder to monitor and advance the San Francisco’s HIV prevention efforts, and provide HIV and STI prevention and treatment services.
“The federal government’s termination of more than $8 million dollars of planned funding will not only impact direct core services and patient care, but it will significantly harm San Francisco’s efforts keep our community healthy, reduce health disparities, reduce HIV and STI transmission, and build a healthier and more resilient City,” the SFDPH said in a press release.

The White House also said the grants no longer reflect CDC priorities.
