“I feel a huge sense of urgency. Time is not on our side. In the last 5 minutes we’ve lost another precious life, and we must address this urgently.” - Dr. @LindaGailBekker#AIDS2022
“We can stop this—because we know what works. Our “blueprint for action” is four-fold:
1.Emphasise role modelling and peer support
2.Focus on community involvement
3.Make it easy
4.Educate, educate, educate”
-Limpho Nteko tells delegates at #AIDS2022
Executive Director at @UNAIDS@Winnie_Byanyima makes it clear: Ending aids in children is not only achievable, it’s our moral duty. And we will do it. #AIDS2022
Access to life-saving prevention tools, testing & treatment – whether for #HIV, #COVID19 or #monkeypox – too often relies on chance: your birthplace, skin colour, gender, how much you earn. Health shouldn't be a privilege, it's a human right. #AIDS2022
I agree with @LazenyaR that we'll continue to waste money & see worsening health inequalities if we do not include women of colour in decision-making & programme design. This is a crucial step toward decolonising global health & redressing centuries of racist ideology. #AIDS2022
So many participants - youth organizers, speakers, scholarship winners, denied the chance to participate and present their work at #HIVPed#AIDS2022 🇨🇦 - You can be better than this. https://t.co/yr7bs9Dp0U

The inimitable @DrMelanieMurray is delivering an incredible presentation about community engagement in healthy aging research from the #BCC3 study at #AIDS2022 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 @HIV_HEAR_me
Is there a single other scientific meeting that welcomes protestors during the opening ceremony with a standing ovation? Welcome to #AIDS2022, a privilege to be here and for #Montreal to host this extraordinary group.
After 3 long years, so wonderful to see @CPARG_PED and all of our international colleagues who made it here in person at #HIVPeds here in Montreal, to focus on #HIV#Pediatrics, with local co-chair with @jasonbrophy73 CPARG 🇨🇦 chair extraordinaire.
The kids are not alright: Kaiser Permanente Northern CA found that compared with 2019, during the fall of 2020, suicide-related ER visits increased by 129% among 5- to 17-year-olds with no history of outpatient mental health or suicide encounters. https://t.co/IETgvPiGXb
It's very easy for people in BC to be cynical about #COVIDBC and how our province has done. It's really worth reminding that out of *all* North American jurisdictions >1M pop, BC has done best.
#1 in cases and deaths
The future is never guaranteed, but perspective:
BC did well.

“A renewed commitment + concrete steps are needed by non-Indigenous leaders & allies to support decolonising work so that it does not fall solely upon First Nations, Inuit + Métis peoples.”
