PrEP has never been about the product alone... it's a program". And it's a program that requires significant effort to help populations move from awareness to action. PrEP programs need demand.

A great podcast discussion with AVAC's ED on the future of #PrEP and what it will take to ensure #lenacapavir reaches the people who need it most.

Think Global Health: NIH Budget Cuts Threaten HIV Research by Stacey Hannah and Mitchell Warren @avac.org 👉 bit.ly/4bao3qf

The Trump administration proposed a $5 billion budget cut for the National Institutes of Health in FY27. @avac.org's Stacey Hannah and Mitchell Warren warn how slashing funding threatens the development of a vaccine that could end the HIV epidemic.

New issue of #GlobalHealthWatch is out: the US votes against the UN Political Declaration on HIV/AIDS, #PEPFAR support ends in South Africa, and new data show #HIV treatment declined following the US foreign aid freeze. Read more: avac.org/blog/global-...

This week @ucs.org launches a new interactive tool on the staggering 574 attacks on science so far under the Trump Administration. It's hard to convey the full scope and severity of what's happening but this tool helps us make sense of it and what we can all do about it: www.attacksonscience.org

📕 Important Read ❗ "...[we] should push back against politically motivated, fringe, antivax sentiments that threaten decades of investment to develop the tool that would finally break the back of the epidemic," write AVAC leaders in @thinkglobalhealth.org www.thinkglobalhealth.org/article/nih-...

🎥 "Right now, we have such opportunities to actually rethink what we do, rebuild for the future, and rise to meet the opportunities and the challenges." As we near #AIDS2026, watch IAS Governing Council Member Mitchell Warren (@avac.org#AIDS2026) call on all of us to #RethinkRebuildRise!

My latest for @thenation.com. Russell Vought is on a mission. He wants to take over all federal grant making & re-make it in his image. He is a dangerous ideologue who wants to inflict trauma on the whole nation. He is cruel and he has a plan. Only we can stop him. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

"The idea that we stand here in June '26 to even utter the words that the end of HIV, the end of this pandemic is possible, was a pipe dream 25 yrs ago. Yet we sit here today & know that it's real. It is possible, but it is incredibly at risk." - Our ED at the #HLM2026AIDS. tinyurl.com/4yvc3vvs

The Global Fund needs a more open search for its next leader - The Lancet www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

OK, people. It takes 2 minutes to write a letter to Congress, a few extra if you personalize it. Russ Vought's attempt to take over ALL federal grant funding is anti-democratic and dangerous. We need MORE letters. Let's tip it over 2000 today. actionnetwork.org/letters/oppo...

Looking forward to joining @unaids.org, @unfpa.org & the Global Prevention Coalition today for Delivering the #HIV Prevention Ambition. Watch live at 1:15pm EDT, www.webtv.un.org And see more of AVAC at the #HLM2026AIDS, avac.org/blog/un-hlm/
