@usawarwanda.bsky.social honors progress in the HIV response & recognizes the urgent work ahead. It’s time to rethink outdated models of responses; rebuild people-centred systems & rise together to overcome funding gaps, inequities, and stigma. #WorldAIDSDay #RethinkRebuildRise #HIVAwareness

Challenging online abuse opens space for women and girls to participate freely and confidently. Protecting them is everyone’s responsibility.

PEP ( post Exposure Prophylaxis) is emergency HIV prevention medicine - not an anytime pill. It must be started within 72 hrs of HIV exposure and taken daily for 28 days

Children are often left behind when designing HIV interventions.
A key #IAS2025 takeaway: We must prioritize HIV prevention, treatment & care tailored for children-because leaving them out means leaving the future behind.
