HIV is not just a health issue; itโs a human rights issue.
Stigma & discrimination still prevent LGBTQ+ communities from accessing care.
For adolescents, the barriers are even greater.
We need inclusive, youth-friendly, rights-based HIV services.
#RIATTESA#EndAIDS#HumanRights
Children are still being left behind in the HIV response.
Only 57% are on treatment.
Adolescents face stigma, poor access, and low adherence.
We need:
โ Early testing
โ Youth-friendly services
โ Community-driven care
No child should die from a preventable disease.

RIATT-ESA and partners welcome the newly signed U.S. funding commitment to the global HIV response. This investment is vital for sustaining treatment, prevention, and care services for children and adolescents living with or affected by HIV in East and Southern Africa.
New global HIV funding commitments offer renewed hope for millions of children and families across East and Southern Africa. Continued investment supports pediatric treatment, prevention of Vertical transmission, and services for vulnerable children.
#HIVResponse#LeaveNoChild
Sustained global solidarity matters. Funding for HIV programmes is more than numbers โ it means access to lifesaving medicines, stronger health systems, and protection for vulnerable children.
RIATT-ESA and partners remain committed to advancing equitable, child-focused response
