This year’s theme “Overcoming disruption, transforming the AIDS response” is a call to face reality: political uncertainty, funding cuts and misinformation are weakening the HIV response.
We must rethink financing with stronger UK investment and innovative models that actually support communities.

We showed up to volunteer… but left as advocates. 💛
One day inside the Africa Advocacy Foundation opened our eyes to what real impact looks like. Voices amplified, communities empowered, and awareness turned into action.

This Black History Month, we reflect on the theme “Standing Firm in Power and Pride.”
As Susan Cole and Denis Onyango remind us, Black communities have always been at the forefront of the HIV response leading with resilience, advocacy, and unwavering pride.
