Rising condom prices = reduced access = higher HIV risk.
In East & Southern Africa, this threatens progress toward ending AIDS by 2030.
RIATT-ESA calls for urgent action to protect access & strengthen prevention.
Condoms are essential.

[RIATT-ESA @RIATTESA]

HIV is not just a health issue; it’s 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

[RIATT-ESA @RIATTESA]

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:
✔ Early testing
✔ Youth-friendly services
✔ Community-driven care

No child should die from a preventable disease.

Since 2016, condom use among youths (15–24) in Southern Africa has stagnated, and in some cases declined.
Knowledge ≠ consistent use.
Barriers include:
• Gender inequality
• Stigma
• Limited youth-friendly services
Condoms prevent HIV & unintended pregnancy, but only if used.

RIATT-ESA calls for investment in prevention, youth-friendly services, and equitable access — putting children & adolescents at the centre of the response.

[RIATT-ESA @RIATTESA]

Eastern & southern Africa has reduced new HIV infections by 56% since 2010 — progress worth celebrating.

[RIATT-ESA @RIATTESA]

Prevention is underfunded — just 8–12% of HIV budgets in some countries go toward stopping new infections.

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.

[RIATT-ESA @RIATTESA]

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

[RIATT-ESA @RIATTESA]

Sustained global solidarity matters. Funding for HIV programmes is more than numbers — 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
