Thank you @mcclellan.house.gov, @robinkelly.house.gov and @pocan.house.gov for being champions in the fight against pediatric AIDS.

Individually, these pieces of content may seem small, but together they tell EGPAF’s story of resilience and dedication to ending pediatric AIDS. Look back on our favorite social media posts from 2025 ➡️ https://pedaids.org/2025/12/15/top-social-media-moments-of-2025/

The first step to connecting children living with HIV is testing. This year, EGPAF teams tested over 310,000 children who were considered at risk of HIV. And thanks to EGPAF’s pediatric testing, 1,813 children were identified as HIV-positive and directed to treatment.

At #ICASA2025, EGPAF's Dr. Doris Macharia explained why integrating triple elimination services at the primary healthcare level can: 💰 Decrease out-of-pocket expenses 🩺 Increase access 🔎 Reduce losses to follow up

Yesterday, we had the privilege of joining @gappdc.bsky.social in recognizing Senator Susan Collins for being a steadfast supporter of PEPFAR and the global fight against HIV. Strong political leadership is vital to achieve an AIDS-free generation.

This year was full of disruptions. But that didn't stop us. Across Africa, EGPAF continued to support over 607,000 moms with prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) services.

“Every dollar invested in HIV programs saves lives." Last night, EGPAF's Dr. Doris Macharia joined a panel discussion with Dr. Shannon Hader and Dr. Goulda Downer, moderated by Nikkole Salter about this critical moment for HIV programs.

Why does sustainable financing matter in the fight against pediatric HIV? This new video from The Coalition for Children Affected by AIDS featuring EGPAF president Doris Macharia, answers this question. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nUBdezuN4Q

"Leaders must look for different ways to partner for solutions to this critical issue as it works towards ending HIV/AIDS BY 2030." Dr. Doris Macharia spoke with @3NewsGH about why leaders must do more to end pediatric AIDS. #ICASA2025 3news.com/health/afric...

"The more we can think about the mother-baby pair... the evidence that we generate at the primary healthcare level and elsewhere will actually inform us on the decisions we need to make." EGPAF's Doris Macharia at #ICASA2025

Dr. Doris Macharia took over as the head of the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation amid widespread disruptions to HIV funding. Her response has been to double down on the core mission of the organization.

There are 1.4 million children living with HIV. This #WorldAIDSDay, join our fight and ensure these children have access to the lifesaving care they need. 🔗 https://act.pedaids.org/a/donate-4-egpaf

So many lives transformed, but our work isn’t over. We must build on our success and continue the fight against pediatric HIV. Learn more ➡️ https://bit.ly/3RuYzde

Children deserve action. “The Cost of Inaction on HIV for Children” makes risks of declining resources for HIV programs clear. Prevention and treatment are transformational for children. We cannot fail them. @unaids.org @unicef.org www.childrenandaids.org/documents/co...

What would Elizabeth say? 38 years ago, when Elizabeth and her friends started the Pediatric AIDS Foundation, people were ignoring the needs of children living with HIV. Today, due to global funding cuts, children living with HIV are at risk of being forgotten again.

Treatment AND care are transformational for children who are living with HIV and are orphaned, like Joshua. Read how the ViiV Breakthrough Partnership’s wrap-around care approach helped meet his needs. https://pedaids.org/2025/01/09/coming-home/

Why wouldn’t you fight HIV? For pregnant women living with HIV, prevention care can help them have HIV-free babies. That is pretty transformative! Learn more: https://bit.ly/3BezmuD

We cannot transform the AIDS response without including the needs of children. EGPAF President Doris Macharia responds to the new UNAIDS Report ➡️ www.linkedin.com/posts/doris-...

EGPAF has officially handed over the Hospital Health Information System to Mozambique’s Ministry of Health. This transfer marks a milestone in Mozambique's digital health transformation, enhancing the country’s interoperability and integrated management of clinical data.

Transformation means solving the once impossible. An HIV diagnosis used to be a death sentence, especially for children. But today, thanks to lifesaving treatment, children born with HIV can live full, healthy lives. Why wouldn’t you join the fight against pediatric HIV?

What does transformation look like? Like this ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ When women have access to prevention of mother-to-child transmission services (#PMTCT), they can transform their babies’ future and protect them from HIV. 📸 : Mothers and babies at support group in Lesotho, 2024.

Since 2000, childhood deaths from AIDS-related causes have declined by almost 80% according to @unaids.org data. When children living with HIV have access to testing, care, and treatment, the results are transformative!

No child should die from a preventable and curable disease. At EGPAF, we are focused on closing the gaps for children by transforming pediatric tuberculosis (TB) prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and elimination. #WCLH2025 #EndTB

We endorse this message!

How can we transform a child’s life? Fight HIV! As leaders decide how to invest in the next generation, ending pediatric AIDS must be part of the plan. Ensuring children have access to lifesaving care and treatment means they grow up to be healthy citizens. #WorldChildrensDay

How can YOU transform a child’s life? Fight HIV! On #WorldChildrensDay, we are asking everyone to stand up for children living with HIV and fight for their access to lifesaving treatment.

This month’s special pediatric issue of The Lancet HIV makes one thing clear – this is an era of opportunity and complexity for the fight against pediatric HIV. We have seen incredible success, but we cannot stop now. https://bit.ly/483kTT8

We have the tools. So, why wouldn't we end pediatric AIDS? In a new commentary published in the Journal of the International AIDS Society, authors call on stakeholders to come together to finally achieve an end to AIDS in children. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jia2.70055

The vaccine alliance reached its target of immunizing an estimated 86 million girls with the vaccine that prevents human papillomavirus, a sexually transmitted infection which can lead to cervical cancer.

Pediatric TB is often undiagnosed and under-reported, but how do we close the gap? Read our lessons learned ➡️ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40017705/

#WorldDiabetesDay is here! To mark this day, EGPAF-Lesotho joined the Ministry of Health, SoliderMed and other partners for a #Diabetes and #NCD awareness education among workers. After health education, workers received diabetes, hypertension, and mental health screenings.

Lenacapavir is especially promising for pregnant and breastfeeding women and their children! Expanding access is a crucial step to finally eliminate vertical transmission.
