This symbol represents 10 years of U=U.

Forged in tin, it reflects durability and evidence based science. The circular form represents continuity and zero risk. When someone living with HIV is undetectable, there is zero risk of sexual transmission.

Can CRISPR Cure HIV? Separating Headlines from Evidence Why hope is real but the science does not yet support the claim of a permanent cure

Headlines saying CRISPR ends HIV permanently are misleading. Trials show promise but HIV still returns when treatment stops. Hope is real, but evidence matters. I unpack this in my new Substack.

Fraud doesn’t equal fact.
The “vaccines cause autism” claim was based on a debunked 1998 paper—and that lie has harmed countless families.
Science is clear: there is no link. Truth matters.

When HIV Status Shapes the Story but Not the Risk Challenging harmful media narratives that reinforce stigma instead of science.

This didn’t make the national news but it made an impact on me. It happened in my community. The science was clear. The story ignored it. That’s why I wrote this blog.

Long Covid Journey A guide to Understanding and Managing Long Covid

Long COVID isn’t rare just rarely recognised.
You don’t need proof to deserve care.
We’re not making it up.
Our bodies just haven’t healed yet.

🎙“Denying the science on vaping is NOT public health—it’s public harm.”
Misleading the public about reduced-risk nicotine products isn’t neutral—it prolongs smoking
and increases preventable deaths. #THRworks #ScienceNotStigma #HealthForAll bit.ly/43MPbsc

💡Public health betrays trust when they cherry pick information. They’re doing it again—downplaying the benefits of safer nicotine alternatives.
Evidence-based THR saves lives. Suppression and stigma don’t. #THRworks #ScienceNotStigma #HealthForAll bit.ly/43MPbsc

🚭 Withholding the truth on safer nicotine alternatives isn’t protection—it’s harm.
When public health officials ignore or distort evidence on vaping and #THR, they sacrifice
lives to maintain a narrative. People deserve facts, not fear. #ScienceNotStigma

Long COVID: the sequel no one asked for.
Still sick after COVID? You’re not alone—1.9M+ in the UK are stuck in symptom limbo. Fatigue, brain fog, “just anxiety”? Nah. It’s your mitochondria on strike.

10/11 Just because one parent models healthy eating more than another doesn't automatically explain why their child has a lower BMI. The reality is far more complex than "they did X, so their child turned out Y." #ParentingTruths #ScienceNotStigma

What upsets me most about the EO targeting autism and ADHD is that people who *need* a diagnosis to thrive might now be too scared to seek help. No one should have to choose between support and stigma. #ADHDAwareness #AutismAcceptance

HIV Treatment Works. Stigma Doesn’t.

U=U means people living with HIV on effective treatment can’t pass it on. Science proves it—stigma refuses to listen.

If U know, U know.

Gender is not binary.

#ScienceNotStigma

Policies rooted in fear and misinformation harm us all. The recent Executive Order attacking sex and gender diversity ignores science, undermines civil rights, and endangers lives.
