Communities generate data, deliver services, build trust, and sustain adherence.
As health systems evolve, integration of HIV services is expanding.
While we recognize its potential, we caution: integration without equity risks erasing the very populations most in need!
Communities are not peripheral, they are central to the HIV response! No one understands the realities of #HIV better than those living with it.

This free training covers AI basics in plain language, how it is used in HIV and global health, the real risks of bias and exclusion, and what community governance actually looks like.
No tech background needed. Every advocate welcome.
AI is already shaping the HIV response.
The question is who is shaping AI.
#CommunitiesAreExperts means communities lead on algorithms too, not just data collection.
"If the models exclude marginalized communities, we risk creating a bigger gap than already exists."
Hawinet Bekele from Audere said it at our AI and HIV webinar. She is right.

We don’t have a TB innovation problem. New tools and treatments exist. Stigma, weak systems, and lack of political will still stand in the way.
This #WorldTBDay, we need to centre people, fund communities, and fix the systems that are failing them.
New TB vaccines are coming, but access isn’t guaranteed.
New research maps patents behind MTBVAC & M72/AS01E, warning IP could delay equitable rollout.
Monitoring patents + using TRIPS flexibilities will be key.

New study from Senegal shows how procurement shapes access to HIV, TB, HPV & cancer treatment.
Strong systems help reduce stock-outs, but high prices remain a barrier. Access still depends on affordability + coordination.

New HIV prevention tools are here.
But innovation alone is not enough.
If clinics feel unsafe and stigma shapes policy, prevention won’t reach everyone.
#RightsSaveLives #HIV #Health
Today we launch a new campaign: Rights. Innovation. Prevention. Community Power.
#Grindr4Equality and ITPC Global are working together to turn digital connection into real-world care — safely & without fear.
We are entering a new era of prevention, including long-acting options.
But innovation alone is not enough.
If clinics feel unsafe, if laws exclude or if pricing blocks access, prevention tools won’t reach communities.
Rights determine access.

On #ZeroDiscriminationDay we’re reminded that discrimination decides who gets protected and who doesn’t.
Stigma drives exclusion. Exclusion blocks innovation.
New HIV prevention tools are here and now they must reach everyone.
1 March is #ZeroDiscriminationDay.
