The international impact of US policies on #HIV – news from @avac.org's #GlobalHealth Watch:

Reversing the community-led approach to #PEPFAR risks not reaching #KeyPopulations, plus the US govt. has worrying demands on patient data.

The Global Fund announces $11.3bn in pledges for 8th round of funding – still $7bn short:

But can we trust the current US govt. to honour their $4.6bn pledge, since its America First plan calls $3.6bn of it β€˜wasteful’?

The people of Windsor are bracing for impact - the arrival of Donald Trump next week - and aren’t happy he’s coming.

We know the people of Windsor will make their voices heard, but we need everyone who can to join the national demo on 17th Sept in London to oppose Trumpism.

Grateful in these dark times for @zoejardiniere.bsky.social, & millions of people, who refuse to give in.
Our Govt is in crisis; it will either fall to the far-right under pressure from Trumpism, or it can stand with the public majority who know diversity is our strength & democracy is not for sale.

Life with HIV should be free of stigma. 

Picture of a man with a red ribbon. 

National aids trust logo. Red ribbon. Securing rights, stopping H.I.V.

eople living with HIV in the UK continue to have lower life satisfaction and #QualityOfLife than the general population. Despite huge progress in treating and preventing HIV, it remains a stigmatised condition.

We can ensure these fears don't stop them from enjoying their lives
