How far they’ve come.
Most Democrats today have little conception or memory of how bold the party was before Reagan.

I give you the 1972 Democratic Party platform’s full-throated endorsement of federally administered, nationalized healthcare.

The party dropped that, pivoting to “universal” coverage—without the teeth.

Your OB-GYN should now be talking to you about HIV testing and prevention. More on new medical guidance and how to talk to your provider about #PrEP below ⬇️
New OB-GYN guidance says doctors should proactively discuss and prescribe PrEP for HIV prevention. It reduces risk by up to 99%. But only 5-9% of users are women.

@gilead.com "justifies excluding countries such as Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Peru and Argentina by classifying them as 'upper middle-income countries'. HIV advocates dispute this justification, partly because people in these countries played a key role in clinical trials to test these medications."

Such an honor to celebrate #NationalHIVPreventionDay in the middle of Times Square with dedicated colleagues & advocates.

Thank you to @prep4allnow.bsky.social for leading the way, pushing back on federal efforts to cut HIV funding & demanding a world where everyone who needs #PrEP can access it.

Today we observe National #HIVPreventionDay. HIV prevention is a human right, and everyone deserves access to the tools that make prevention possible—from HIV testing and PrEP to harm reduction and comprehensive sexual health care.
