The jab is called #lenacapavir (LEN). It works almost 100% to stop HIV through sex — and only needs two injections a year. Find out what Buhle Sikade, who has used it for 3 years, tells her boyfriend. https://t.co/BNNpN2aerk

The UK stands with the International Criminal Court and we stand united with our partners in strongly disagreeing with sanctions imposed on the Court.

The ICC must be permitted to continue its critical work holding perpetrators of the most horrific international crimes to account.

[Swiss MFA @SwissMFA]

#Switzerland reaffirms its support for the @IntlCrimCourt as an independent and impartial judicial institution.

🇨🇭 opposes sanctions, threats or other measures aimed at undermining the Court’s independence and its ability to fulfil its mandate.

As a court of last resort, the #ICC plays an important role in combating impunity for the most serious international crimes.

What a proud moment for the global human rights movement! Thank you, Navi Pillay, our former UN Human Rights Chief and 2026 @NobelPrize Peace laureate. Navi's career has traced a remarkable arc in the global struggle for universal human rights, from the fight against apartheid to the defence of civilians in conflict zones. Throughout her life’s work, she has spoken truth to power, championing the principle that human rights belong to everyone, everywhere. Learn more: https://t.co/t3Ogjqtmwx

AIDS is not over. The situation in Fiji is a stark reminder that HIV epidemics can change quickly when prevention and treatment services do not reach everyone who needs them.

Fiji is stepping up its response. @UNAIDS will continue working with 🇫🇯 and countries across the Pacific, alongside communities and partners, to strengthen national responses and regional cooperation.

One of the saddest things is becoming so afraid of disappointment that you stop allowing yourself to want things properly.

[UNAIDS Uganda @UNAIDS_UG]

We can't end #AIDS while ppl fear seeking care or face barriers to services.

Ending AIDS requires more than medicine. It demands human rights, gender equality, strong communities & enabling laws. @jtmakokha during the HLM on HIV/AIDS, Human Rights & Service Delivery Integration
