Yesterday in Kisumu City, Kenya, @afrocab_hiv joined @MandelaTb for the 2026 International AIDS Candle Light Memorial under the theme LIGHT THE LEGACY. Remember. Advance. Act.
We remembered lives lost, advanced community leadership through the launch of the #AHD Support Network & Support Group, and strengthened long-term community ownership.
The memorial brought together young people, partners, @afrocab_hiv AHD Champion @erickokioma, and CAB member Sharon Obilo, who shared experiences and testimonies on the realities of Advanced HIV Disease and the importance of community-led responses.

Did you know that @afrocab_hiv is conducting #LastMile+ outreaches, bringing lifesaving healthcare services directly to underserved communities?
Today, we are at Kinywante landing site in Uganda, providing health services including:
♦️HIV testing, ART, and linkage to care
♦️PrEP and PEP initiation
♦️Advanced HIV Disease (AHD) screening and CD4 testing
♦️Cervical cancer screening
♦️Contraception and SRHR services
♦️Nutrition support and counseling
♦️GBV screening and referral services
Communities at landing sites often face major barriers to healthcare access, including long distances to health facilities.That is why integrated outreach programs like these are critical for early diagnosis, treatment access, prevention, dignity, and continuity of care.
People-centered healthcare means taking services closer to the people, reducing missed opportunities for care, and ensuring that no one is left behind.

AFROCAB is spearheading dialogue on Community Systems Strengthening for Effective AHD Programming at #interest2026. Our mission: put community-led structures like Community Champions & CABs at the heart of monitoring & implementing AHD services. #EndAHD#THRIVE
LastMile+ update: @afrocab_hiv reached Tor Vande, Benue State, Nigeria. Hardship like no water threatens ART adherence. We responded with adherence support, AHD package of care , PMTCT awareness, HIV sensitization & linkage to care. Reaching the last mile matters. #THRIVE

Severe Acute Malnutrition is a great risk for children living with AHD. Poor nutrition weakens already compromised immune systems.
#THRIVE nutrition sessions such as this one in Zvishavane, Zimbabwe are equipping families to protect children’s health from the start

We concluded our activities at the @icasa2025 by conducting a health talk with government bus drivers at the event. The talk covered HIV & stigma prevention, treatment adherence, etc.
"Little did I know you can lead a healthy life if you're adherent to ARVs," said one driver.
Thank you, @UNITAID, for making the launch of our information, education, and communication (IEC) materials on Advanced HIV Disease (AHD). These materials will help in equipping communities with credible 🗣️🔊 info. on #AHD.
