At #35AEC @richardangell.bsky.social from the Terence Higgins Trust made a powerful point in our session: "Not acting on Alzheimer’s is the ultimate economic" failure. The global cost of dementia is a clear call to action for governments to invest in diagnostics and treatments.

So pleased that my friend, ambassador for @THTorguk and someone who has lived with HIV for nearly four decades, Chris Smith, has been elected chancellor of @cam.ac.uk

Congratulations!

🎉A gonorrhoea vaccine will be rolled out in England within months.

This is a game-changer which will help tackle record high levels. 
 
We've campaigned for this and are so glad that the government has listened.

People on HIV treatment cannot pass it on during sex.

Ellie shares why this is such an empowering message and what it's like to pass on the facts.
