PEPFAR has saved 25 million lives and made the world more secure — yet its reauthorization is held up. In his piece for @TheHillOpinion, @CharlesBHolmes urges Congress to fully fund and reauthorize @PEPFAR.

Research Engagement team member Grace Kumwenda sharing learnings on the intersection of HIV, SGBV + adolescent pregnancy that have echoed across #ICASA2023

We need:
* Holistic program design
* To support young women leaders
* Dual prevention products

[AVAC @HIVpxresearch]

Rich discussion of the multiple factors that interact in the 'triple threat' facing AGYM

Do we need to reframe prevention as self care? Do we need a whole of society response? #ICASA2023

[Center for Innovation in Global Health @Georgetown_CIGH]

Programs that strengthen national & sub-national health systems like the #BlantyrePreventionStrategy in Malawi are critical steps to effectively reaching communities in need.
