Thank you doc and all involved.

Language matters

Also comforted to hear the importance of intentions and asking the question, "what terminology do you prefer?"

We're delighted that @iasociety #aids2024 is so language-focused. In the pre-conference language session the speakers asked us all to call out inappropriate language so please don't use "HIV-uninfected" on slides. Thank you. #putpeoplefirst @angelina_namiba @BakitaKK @DrYGilleece
