Why support the #GlobalFund? Because it works.

✅ HIV infections down 62%
✅ TB deaths down 40%
✅ Malaria eliminated in 21 countries

Those are some of the reasons.

There are 70 million more – that’s how many lives the Global Fund has saved.

We must #StopAtNothing to end AIDS, TB & malaria.

The US gov announced it will invest in #lenacapavir - a game-changing new #HIVprevention drug.

Mitchell Warren (@avac.org) says: "It's a step forward from where we've been in a fairly paralytic state. I hope this breaks the logjam & gets prevention back on the agenda."

Lenacapavir has the potential to end the HIV epidemic, researchers say. The Trump administration says backing this kind of effort will be a model for how it does global health work in the future.
