With regard to this budget blueprint, President Trump’s message on page 1 & 2 highlights:
Many other Government agencies and departments will also experience cuts. These cuts are sensible and rational. Every agency and department will be driven to achieve greater efficiency and to eliminate wasteful spending in carrying out their honorable service to the American people.

Specifically regarding H&HS funding (including specific funding for HIV) this budget blueprint states on page 21 & 22:
In 2018, HHS funds the highest priorities, such as: health services through community health centers, Ryan White HIV/AIDS providers, and the Indian Health Service; early care and education; and medical products review and innovation. In addition, it funds urgent public health issues, such as prescription drug overdose, and program integrity for Medicare and Medicaid.

The Budget eliminates programs that are duplicative or have limited impact on public health and well-being. Supports direct health care services, such as those delivered by community health centers, Ryan White HIV/AIDS providers, and the Indian Health Service. These safety net providers deliver critical health care services to low-income and vulnerable populations.

Congress passed a massive budget deal February 9, 2018.
