HIV decriminalisation is possible, even in challenging political environments. But it takes:
✅ Community leadership
✅ Parliamentary action
✅ Global coordination
✅ Sustained funding
🎙️And yet another news: you can hear the discussion we held with @benvyle.bsky.social; @gilmorejnurse.bsky.social; & @edftmxxx.bsky.social on doxypep in Michelle Croston's HIV Matters podcast's special 50th episode!

The decision to cut Overseas Development Assistance to 0.3% of GDP from 0.5% must not undermine the UK's longstanding commitment to global health & development, particularly in the fight against HIV & AIDS.
We will continue to ensure HIV is not forgotten.
Our statement is here
We welcome the news that the UK will co-host the 8th Replenishment Conference for the Global Fund alongside the South African government later this year.
This partnership underscores our unwavering commitment to ending AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria, and strengthening global health security.

We've come along way in LGBTQ+ rights but with hatred on the rise, we must do more & stand up for our rights & the LGBTQ+ community.
Not enough women are accessing PrEP, the game-changing #HIV prevention drug.
Thank you, David Mundell MP, Co-Chair of the @appghiv.bsky.social for raising this issue and for highlighting the need to make it available beyond #SexualHealth services to increase access to everyone who needs it.

As a person living with #HIV, I can’t help see the parallels between what’s happening to federal agencies like #USAID or the #CDC and a virus that attacks your immune system, takes over a cell’s internal mechanisms for its own purposes and then obliterates the host cell.
Notification at this web site.
The University of Washington's National HIV Curriculum, headed by Dr. David Spach, is one of the best on-line resources for HIV information anywhere.
I refer people to it *all the time*.
Really hoping valuable resources like this are up and running again soon. #IDSky

The removal of #HIV- and #LGBTQ-related resources from the websites of CDC and other health agencies is deeply concerning.
Access to this information is crucial for ID and HIV health care professionals.
