⚠️ 1.3 million people acquired HIV in 2024 alone, including thousands of adolescent girls and young women.

Today, in a landmark move towards HIV prevention, WHO recommends twice-yearly injectable lenacapavir as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to protect people at risk of HIV.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

New gonorrhoea vaccine programme announced today, along with full mpox vaccine rollout.

This is a welcome and much needed investment in sexual health. We must ensure both vaccines reach those who need them including those least likely to visit sexual health services.

When we were publishing Bottoming podcast (bottomingpodcast.com), it was so difficult to be recognised as indie/self funded amongst massive production comps. Even tho we were nominated for the likes of Great British Pod awards, it was swamped by the likes of Amazon/Spotify funded ones…
This is really extraordinary market dominance. A 5-year-old company that has destroyed legacy broadcasters in this field, and somehow managed to make the formula feel utterly impossible to replicate. I'm not sure any other brach of the British media landscape has seen such consolidation.

An incredibly challenging time at the World Health Organization as we actively respond to a complex crisis in which essential services that keep people alive —such as childhood vaccinations and daily HIV treatment — are at stake.

A very smart colleague just pointed out the grim truth that the U.S. leaving the WHO may ultimately be a win for the rest of the world. Why? Because without a vote, “the US can't block WHO actions like vaccine programs, disease surveillance, contraception, etc”. Man, that is daaaark, but accurate.

honestly a few heartbreaking weeks ahead for those of us working in global health, with funding envelopes suddenly empty and many partners unsure if they will be able to pay staff at months end
