More than 25 years ago, Louis Da Gama received a call about a resurgence in malaria.

Since then, innovation, partnerships and community action have helped save millions of lives. But progress remains fragile—and continued investment in new solutions is essential.

[U.S. Embassy Kampala, Uganda @USEmbassyUganda]

At the International Candlelight Memorial, we stand in solidarity with people living with HIV. Through our $2.3 billion health partnership & American innovation like lenacapavir—a twice-yearly injection preventing nearly 100% of new HIV infections—we're moving closer to ending AIDS as a public health threat by 2030. Together, we will end HIV. 🇺🇸🇺🇬🕯️

#Integration alone is not enough.

#HappeningNow: CSOs & networks in the HIV response are unpacking gender-responsive health integration because without a gender lens, systems risk reinforcing stigma & inequality.

Supported by @TASOUganda in collaboration with @MinofHealthUG

[ICWEAAt20 @ICWEastAfrica]

Women’s realities are complex, & prevention must meet them there.

The #PrEPRing responds to lived realities, now we must ensure access without stigma.

ICWEA joined national stakeholders in Lira for the launch of #Lenacapavir for HIV prevention, an important moment in expanding prevention choices across Uganda.

As new options emerge, the focus must remain on ensuring women & girls can access, choose ways that fit their lives.

[Unitaid @UNITAID]

Health is a human rights and social justice issue. In Uganda, @OwomugishaImmac is breaking legal and social barriers that block people living with HIV from care.

@ICWEastAfrica & @hepsuganda are engaging technical experts from the @MinofHealthUG to provide technical input into monitoring tools for integrated health care delivery.

When recipients of care are meaningfully engaged, health systems become more responsive & people-centered.

[ICWEAAt20 @ICWEastAfrica]

Today, ICWEA joined the @aidscommission & the @MinofHealthUG to plan a National High-Level Dialogue on HIV Prevention Choices (31 March 2026).

Our generation fought for survival. Now we must ensure the next generation has real prevention choices.
