Florence Anam (GNP+) reminds us at #IAS2025: “We’re in a difficult time for science in the HIV response, but these new WHO guidelines show we’re still moving forward, for women, for children, for all of us.”

@linkedin.com I have been hacked and trying to contact someone at LinkedIn to speak to v unsuccessfully for over 10 days. Who can I speak to please. I cannot access my account which ever way I try

#HIV organisations have come together to call for the guidelines to be withdrawn. , We believe they will not reduce inequality or protect everyone’s right to fairness, dignity, and respect. Read the full statement on our website: nat.org.uk/news/hiv-...

Juddy Otti, reflecting on the work of Africa Advocacy Foundation, @sophiaforum.bsky.social‬ and @onevoicenetwork.bsky.social, highlighted the urgent need to partner and sustainably fund community-led organisations to tackle inequalities faced by women and Black communities.

I wrote this while at the @bhiva.bsky.social conference so suitably inspired! #BHIVA25 @bashhuk.bsky.social @iasociety.bsky.social @tht.org.uk @nationalaidstrust.bsky.social @eltonjohnaidsfoundation.org @unaids.org @appghiv.bsky.social @sophiaforum.bsky.social @hiv-i-base.bsky.social

Today the UK supreme court ruled that trans women aren't women. I strongly disagree. Gender like most aspects of the self and society is a construct. Trans Femme Futures by Nat Raha and Mijke van der Drift has been made free to access by Pluto Press. www.plutobooks.com/978074534941...

Today we remember the 97, their families & survivors. Along with other Merseyside MPs I will be doing all I can to get a Hillsborough Law delivered. Anything less is unacceptable. #JFT97 #YNWA

The Moral Injuries of Witnessing Genocide in Gaza | “Activism is also necessary to keep moral injuries from becoming disabling”.

Female genital mutilation (FGM) is a harmful practice that is widely performed in around 30 countries in Africa, the Middle East & Asia. It is often considered a cultural rite of passage for girls. Evidence shows FGM can be prevented, incl. by advancing health, rights & gender equality. #EndFGM

NEW: Elon Musk’s attack on USAID has cut HIV/AIDS workers off from medicine and money. The Trump Administration claims it is allowing “lifesaving” foreign aid to continue, but in reality, DOGE is preventing vital work on HIV and AIDS from saving lives. Read our scoop here:

Malawi's Ministry of Health has issued a formal contingency plan in response to the "temporary suspension of support from #PEPFAR", triaging #HIV services and noting that routine viral load testing, early infant diagnosis, and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) may need to be reduced or discontinued.

😡 And so it begins… Idaho Republicans just passed a resolution urging the Supreme Court to end marriage equality. They won’t stop until our rights are gone. We must fight back. 🏳️‍🌈✊ #MarriageEquality One Supreme Court justice at least wants it gone! 🔗 https://tinyurl.com/3p3fhpjw

Impact of Trump's executive orders on #GlobalHealth: i-base.info/htb/50142 The stop-work order for PEPFAR put 20 million #PLWH at risk, with 1 million already denied ART #HIV #AIDS #PEPFAR #ARVs #Africa #EndAIDS

We are very proud of our Director @profchloeorkin.bsky.social profile in the @thelancet.bsky.social today!

An emergency waiver will allow the continuation of PEPFAR to continue providing lifesaving HIV treatment to 20 million people worldwide. We are at a key moment in the struggle, with new tools to treat and prevent HIV. Now is not the time to halt efforts, now is the time to end the HIV epidemic.
