“It’s time for us finally to end AIDS for children” @LindaGailBekker opens the launch of the Global Alliance initiative to end AIDS in children by 2030. Outrageous that only half of children with HIV are on treatment - this initiative is critically important! #AIDS2022
“Systemic racism is a global emergency” Powerful talk by @Winnie_Byanyima by @UNAIDS highlighting racism in global health, including how people of colour with HIV are excluded from meetings on issues that affect us! #AIDS2022
Acutely aware of a big division between some academics/clinicians & some people "we" work with. Tales of cycling to people's gardens for tea & sharing suppers. Contrast to struggles in a high-rise flat, looking after kids and no money. We need to be aware of these differences.
Hey #HIV twitter. As part of my MSc in PH I'm hoping to carry out a qualitative research project on the barriers to accessing Primary Care services for people living with HIV in the UK. I'm looking for participants to interview (people living with HIV). Pls share/DM/advise!
BIG NEWS: We’re thrilled to announce that Saving Lives are donating £3,000 to the Birmingham AIDS & HIV Memorial as part of our Grassroots Grants initiative - bringing this important project closer to fruition.

This is astonishing!
95% of all people living with #HIV in England are diagnosed.
99% of those are on treatment.
97% of those are virally suppressed (undetectable) and #CantPassItOn to sexual partners. #UequalsU
This is world-leading health care.
#WorldAIDSDay
#DidYouKnow that someone living with #HIV who is on effective treatment can't pass HIV on to their sexual partners? 🤩
This is #UequalsU.
But step one is getting tested.

Today is #WorldAIDSDay. A day where we come together to:
Remember those we’ve lost to the virus. ♥️
Show our support for those living with HIV. 💪
Thank those who’ve helped us in our journeys. 👩🏾⚕️👨🏻⚕️
Pledge to help tackle stigma, and prevent onwards transmission. ✋
Today is #worldaidsday
It’s 40 years since the first known cases of AIDS were reported.
Today we remember and give thanks to those who came before us, to those we lost and those who survived.
Use today to reflect, educate, challenge and support.
“End inequalities, End Stigma” is the #WorldAIDSDay 2021 theme.
HIV is preventable & treatable.
So why do people still die from HIV? Inequality.
Whether at home, or around the world, some people still don’t have access to testing & treatment.
This has to change. Access now.
On #WorldAIDSDay pls watch this heart felt interview..
Chris was Diagnosed #HIV positive in 1986 & given 18 months to live
Outed & vilified by @TheSun in his own church
We have come such a long way with treatment but #HIVStigma is still here. https://t.co/eGUYj12Cdb
This is really exciting: most importantly of all, Birmingham is set to have a major HIV/AIDS memorial right in its city centre. But that our little charity can contribute to making this happen is especially nice. Fantastic work, everyone!

Always thoughtful on #WorldAIDSDay thinking of the people I have known who died of HIV and its complications and this year I am also missing the inspiring staff who work @HIVHeartlands and of course all those wonderful patients @ForumHeartlands

To commemorate those we have lost and celebrate those living well today with HIV/AIDS ❤ With thanks to the amazing power of todays medications and #UEqualsU#WorldAIDSDay
