Mettre fin au VIH demande plus que des innovations : il faut de la volonté politique, du financement et l’engagement pour l’équité. Si nous tardons à agir, les infections repartiront à la hausse. C’est maintenant qu’il faut agir.

“You challenge us, and you lead,” said WHO’s Nathan Ford to civil society. At the Unitaid–AfroCAB session, one message was clear: communities are not recipients of care, they drive change. When those most affected shape the response, policy becomes progress. #IAS2025

At the Unitaid booth with AfroCAB, Jean Claude Cyiza shared how Rwanda tackles advanced HIV disease through monthly peer-led education, partnerships with health facilities, and digital platforms. Community-led awareness is driving real impact. #IAS2025

Carmen Pérez Casas at #IAS2025 identified two key drivers for long-acting PrEP success: low-cost, quality-assured products and delivery approaches that maximize epidemic impact. Unitaid is working on both fronts with urgency.
July 16, 2025 at 11:05 AM
At #IAS2025, Maria Cristina Pimenta de Oliveira shared that mHealth-enhanced counselling gave providers more time to address concerns, helping build trust in PrEP options. Addressing contextual barriers and knowledge gaps is key to reaching those most vulnerable to HIV.
