Most of us didn't think we were vulnerable for HIV until we tested positive.
Because most people don't walk around thinking they're doing anything that exposes them to the virus. That's why having Sexual Health Awareness is so important.
Because everyone is vulnerable to HIV. And other STIs too.

On Southern HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, we have to ask ourselves: Why does one of the most beautiful parts of our country have the largest rates of HIV?
Because of white Christian racism. If we want to contain HIV, we must first undue the ideology of medical racism.

People living with HIV neither fail treatment nor do we fall out of care. Especially in systems that have been set up to fail us and blame them when they succeed.

Dear Robbie Kennedy,
Taking money from HIV treatment and shoving it into prevention is a divide and conquer tactic.
We see your machinations and we don't like them. Playing with Ryan White funding will strip people living with HIV of coverage.
But you already know that.

#AIDS2026 is over, but the powerful messages we heard and moments we saw will stay with us forever.
For example: Vanessa Johnson showed a young LGBTQ+ advocate from Ghana what is possible by sharing her wisdom & offering support in navigating the threat of same-sex criminalization in Ghana.

Peter Hunt's presentation on CARD8 and TACKs (Targeted Activator of Cell Kill) show that TACK can induce death among cells w HIV & reduce the size of the HIV reservoir. (The HIV reservoir is where hidden HIV cells live in the body. It exists even when people are virally suppressed & Undetectable).

We're live at #AIDS2026. Dr. Ronald Tamale speaks about Uganda Catholic's work providing HIV care to over 200,000 people. How do they do it? Working with the government and building trust with community.
However the org is requesting increased government finance to supplement user fees.

Time for a tough talk about MIPA:
The meaningful Involvement of People Living With HIV/AIDS.
It starts with asking yourself: Am I following MIPA? Or am I dictating how people living with HIV should live?
And acknowledging that anything that violates MIPA doesn't belong in the HIV movement.

We have treatments for HIV, but no one has found a foolproof treatment for stigma.
And yet we persist. Because it is the right thing to do & if we stop stigma, we will stop HIV.
