We can't conquer HIV with fear and politeness.
We must be fearless, impolite and impatient champions...

Proud to stand alongside such dedicated colleagues from @UNAIDS_WCA & @UNAIDSMENA!
I am confident that together we can #EndInequalities and #EndAIDS as a public health threat by 2030. ✊🏾
Why #EducationPlus?
Because every week in West & Central Africa, 1,000 adolescent girls & young women are newly infected w/ HIV.
Because adolescent girls & young women in WCA are at least 2x likely to acquire HIV than their male peers.
