Topline: Mississippi has received $2.5 million from the federal government since 2021 to reduce HIV infections by 75% before the end of 2025, but the state will fail to meet its goal "barring a major reversal," according to a recent report from State Auditor Shad White.
Questionable spending decisions were likely a factor. White found that three nonprofits that received $853,575 from the federal money have conducted only 35 HIV tests since 2021. Instead, the nonprofits spent money on a "diva brunch," a "Queer-ceaera" pride event and more.
