IAS 2025 has officially kicked off in Kigali. The opening session was very moving and powerful reminder of what’s at stake. Strong (mostly female) voices from across the HIV response, and a powerful community protest (“We will not be erased”) resonated deeply.

It was such a delight to host Dr. Rochelle P. #Walensky, former director of the CDC during the COVID crisis at #Charité Berlin. Thank you for sharing inspiring lessons and personal insights with the Charité community.

We all need to speak up for #HealthEquity and Evidence-based health policies.

A powerful talk by Rebecca Denison, founder of WORLD and woman living with HIV.

We can't go back to the days without treatment access.

Silence is death.

And courage is a decision.

The hall erupted in a standing ovation.
