Today is #ZeroDiscriminationDay.
For people living with HIV, internalized stigma means hiding their status, skipping treatment, and living in fear of judgment.
This isn't a side issue. It's a barrier to ending AIDS by 2030.
In our latest 5 Questions interview, Dr. Mofenson talks about the value of research, the potential impact of long-acting prevention methods, and what gives her hope during these challenging times.

5 Questions with Dr. Lynne Mofenson

As researchers gather in Denver for #CROI, we are thinking a lot about this quote from Elizabeth Glaser.
Generation Zero is possible because we invested in research to find evidence-based solutions and deploy them at scale.
We can't stop now.
#GenerationZeroHIV
In her own words: Adrienne’s journey from HIV diagnosis to raising three HIV-free children.
pedaids.org/2026/02/06/i...
In 2026, we have the tools to end pediatric HIV and prevent vertical transmission.
Not investing to put those tools into action means around 10,000 additional children will acquire HIV each month.
Children deserve better. They deserve #GenerationZeroHIV
We're delighted to announce our new Board Member, Catherine Connor, of @egpaf.bsky.social to lead the
@developedngo.bsky.social Delegation for the next two years!

What is Generation Zero? A way to finally end pediatric HIV.
pedaids.org/2026/02/17/g...
For the first time in history, ending pediatric HIV is not just possible — it’s within reach.
Today, we are launching Generation Zero, a campaign to finally end pediatric HIV.
We have the tools. We have the expertise. We have the partnerships.
What we need now is urgency.
“The number of people living with HIV doesn’t change because funding changes. Someone still has to provide treatment.”
EGPAF’s Catherine Connor spoke to the @the-independent.com about the recent changes to the US global health policy.

A highlight of the #AUSummit - connecting with leaders who are focused on moving from discussion to delivery.
At the High Level Side Event on Africa’s Health Sovereignty we heard from Hon. Kwabena Mintah Akandoh (MOH Ghana) about his vision for building on the Accra Dialogues.
@who.int
The work of Dr. Lishimpi, along with other scientists and researchers, has made ending pediatric AIDS possible.
It was an honor to reconnect with him and hear how his team is championing the health of children.
#AUSummit2026
You never know who you are going to meet at the #AUSummit!
Earlier today EGPAF’s Rhoda Igweta met Dr. Kennedy Lishimpi (Permanent Secretary MOH Zambia) and learned about his connection with EGPAF.
In 1998, he was a PAF scholar, receiving funding to study the management of pediatric #HIV.
At the High-Level Side Event on Digital Health Technologies for RMNCAH, leaders emphasized that digital health in Africa must be driven by strong political commitment, integrated into national plans, and supported by domestic investments to reach every child. #AUSummit

EGPAF’s Rhoda Igweta joined leaders at today’s event for a critical discussion on reimagining women health’s within primary healthcare.
Ending pediatric #HIV starts with caring for women. Advancing #MNCH through high quality, dignified care is critical to achieving our mission.
“We need accessible dignified care for every woman. Our womb is part of our body and we need to take care of it.”

We are excited to be working with @unicef.org on a new project in Malawi.
Our team will be leveraging our experience building and implementing digital health solutions to improve the identification and management of at-risk infants and strengthening treatment of severely wasted children.
Alongside leaders like @who.int Afro’s Agnes Midi and @unaids.org’s Irene Maina, Rhoda highlighted the #tripleelimination agenda and how leaders can work to end pediatric #HIV.

Published in the @dailymaverick.co.za, EGPAF's Rhoda Igweta explains that Africa already has the tools it needs to end HIV in children.
What is needed now is sustained, equitable, and coordinated action to fully realise that goal.

"I proved that a mother with HIV can have an HIV-free baby."
In rural communities in Cameroon, as many as 7 percent of pregnant women test positive for HIV. But mentor mother programs are helping women avoid passing the virus to their children.
