Most #HIV programs/studies neglect the population over 50 years of age. As a consequence, older adults, especially women, are often invisible in surveillance data, overlooked in prevention messaging, and under-represented in care strategies. https://t.co/fx2GBhShGR

Way to go, Botswana!
"Reaching this point required both significant political will, investment in scientific infrastructure and a sustained public health education programme to bring the latest science-backed strategies to those most at risk." https://t.co/HxZVqKY7OM

Meet Taonga Banda, a peer educator and psychosocial counselor in Lusaka, Zambia.

She has turned her own journey with HIV into a lifeline for other girls – creating a space for strength, support and hope.

“You can do anything that an HIV-negative person can do,” she tells them.

"This crisis is fixable. It requires immediate reinvestment in defunded organisations, the rehiring of experienced managers, and an honest medium-term plan for service integration within our health system." - @FrancoisVenter3, PI of our #SouthAfrica project.

[Spotlight @SpotlightNSP]

MUST READ | South Africa is staging a sequel to Mbeki-era denialism, only this time, the science, solutions, and costs are clearer, argues Professor @FrancoisVenter3.
