My wife has been HIV+ for 34 years. She’s alive today b/c work of activists who destigmatized the virus, pushed medical science to adapt & find ways to treat it, & advocated for gov health programs that helped fund her care. The current U.S. regime may want to go back in time, but we won’t let them.

Study of men & women physicians in 2019 found that women were less likely than men to say that social media use had resulted in a speaking engagement or scholarship opportunity. Women used it more often than men to build a support network. @vineetaroramd.bsky.social jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

#WorldAIDSDay this year is a grim one Stories of the devastating impact of US, British and wider European aid cuts on the fight against HIV – particularly in sub-Saharan Africa – continue to mount as 2025 comes to an end… www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Today December 1st is #WorldAIDSDay. I remember the millions who have died. I celebrate the transformative progress that has been made. I resolve as an HIV researcher and advocate to keep up the fight to end the HIV epidemic. Do you know you status? Get tested. Get treated. Get on PrEP.

Amazing! 👏🏽👏🏽 In Australia, “no cervical cancer cases diagnosed in women aged <25 years in 2021 – the first time that this has occurred in data going back to 1982. This remarkable achievement is almost certainly due to the impact of HPV vaccination” report.cervicalcancercontrol.org.au
