Condolences. Huge huge loss for our movement... Stephen Lewis called out Manto and Mbeki's AIDS denialism when most world leaders were scared to! Fearless. Never forget! Hamba Kahle Comrade. Rest in Power. ✊🏾💙⏳️ #StephenLewis

When Gilead plays god, after extracting global south participation... Worse, Gilead cannot meet global demand. That much is clear. 👇🏿 #lenacapavir

📢JUST IN📢 This HUMAN RIGHTS month, we are excited to share Health Justice Initiative's (HJI) Turning 5 Report. Link: healthjusticeinitiative.org.za/2026/03/25/h...

New analysis published in @bmj.com where @roojinhabibi.org Fatima Hassan, Andy Hill & I argue the US -- through its actions -- creating a 'public health emergency of international concern'. Multiple epidemics are expected, so we call upon @who.int to act decisively. www.bmj.com/content/392/...

🚨 This analysis piece in @bmj.com is absolutely 🔥 (disclosure: I was a peer reviewer) The authors argue that US actions to dismantle public health at home & abroad “constitute a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC) under international law” 1/2 www.bmj.com/content/392/...

Savage. The White House has responded to the paper we published last night in @bmj.com, which calls the US administration a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). Read & weep:

Title: "The United States is Driving a Public Heath Emergency of International Concern" www.bmj.com/content/392/...

Read our new piece on the pernicious role of the USG in global health, in the BMJ, today. *The United States is driving a public health emergency of international concern* With: @mattherder.bsky.social @roojinhabibi.org and Andy Hill.

📢PEPFAR FREEZE-WAIVER📢 JUST IN: SA health groups have written to Health, Treasury, DIRCO & SA Presidency about need for urgent, reasonable PLAN, to address dire consequences of USG Executive Orders, Waiver, Bans & US Court Rulings, for SA. More here: healthjusticeinitiative.org.za/2025/02/05/p...

We worked for months with USAID to build an $85,000,000 project to end TB in two regions of the Philippines. The project is funded by private money, the Philippine government, and matching USAID funds. It could provide a blueprint for eliminating TB worldwide--except it's...not happening.

Trump's authoritarian orders has just risked global defaulting in/of key treatment programmes. A global health nightmare of epic proportions unfolding- for 'revenge', ideology and of course...$. Blood. On. His. Hands. #PEPFAR

tl;dr: PEPFAR must get back to work, firing on all cylinders; but this waiver guidance appears needlessly limited whereas Sec Rubio's waiver announcement was broad www.state.gov/emergency-hu..., for example >>

there will be (more) chaos and confusion over waiver implementation, which further undermines the #HIV response. 25 #HIV infections each second, and a #AIDS death every minute, there is no time for more waste & harm >> www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/h...

We published the leaked guidance for @PEPFAR on the waiver to the funding freeze for "life-saving humanitarian assistance programs" here: docs.google.com/document/d/e... >> a thread 🧵:
