Dear @DrTedros, words can not express how excited we are about your response. We too are convinced that the world needs to update its mind on #HIV and look forward to your answer. Together let’s change the name. Let’s end the stigma. Forever.
Happy to start a new role @faq_health as #CEO - I’m really looking forward to make our vision of a world where every young individual has the #knowledge, #resources and #confidence to lead a healthy and fulfilling life a reality for many.

Today, on April 10, we observe National Youth #HIV & #AIDS Awareness Day, highlighting the significance of prioritizing the health and education of young people in their diversity. By providing effective school-based #HealthEd programs, we equip young people with the necessary knowledge to prevent and manage HIV, promoting a healthier future for all.

Even if you test HIV positive - life can go on as positively as before - taking ART (pill a day) can lead to Undetectability (low levels of virus) which means Uninfectiousness UequalsU ! @DTHF_SA
Pleasure to meet w/ @FirstLadyNam in Addis Ababa ahead of #AUSummit! We discussed shared priorities advancing women’s & girls’ #health in Africa. My team & I are committed to working with First Ladies to close the gender equity gap for impact in health, education & other sectors.
It's not medicine that's holding us back. We need to update the world on #HIV. During #UNGA, we're advocating to make #HIV a priority again. It's not over yet. Help us #UpdateHIV! @ohhhfoundation @YAA_intl
We join our partner @YAA_intl in posting an open letter addressed the Director General of the @WHO, @DrTedros, called “CHANGE THE NAME, END THE STIGMA".

Serviceplan y Youth Against AIDS lanzan una petición a la OMS para que se cambie el nombre del VIH y así acabar con el estigma https://t.co/nO1e9M0LUt @ServiceplanES @YAA_intl #VIH#SIDA#SOStenibles#UpdateHIV
The young people of @YAA_intl wrote an open letter to the head of WHO to call for changing the name 'HIV', to change the stigma.
@DrTedros responded.
All this through @Twitter. How can this medium die? It shouldn't.

The programs of our initiative @YAA_intl thus “focus on bridging that gap through advocacy and health literacy programs that seek to capacitate young women to end the #stigma against their sexuality, and to take charge of their #sexualhealth." - @bongioar (2/3)
The Archbishop Tutu valued the generosity of the Gates Foundation - so terrific today to host @trevormundel and Gates leadership including Dr Peter Piot to celebrate the progress on @FASTPrEPstudy and the shared vision of ending #HIV through effective prevention!
@KalondoMonica on behalf of the Organisation of 1st ladies at the #Africa launch of the alliance to #endAIDSinchildren emphasising the urgency to challenge religious & cultural practices driving HIV infection in adolescents & children @UNAIDS
We must never forget the pain and despair on seeing multitudes of young people die of an incurable disease whilst life prolonging treatment was available in richer countries in the north - PEPFAR helped to right that wrong and save millions @PEPFAR@IngridKatzMD@JRatevosian
Today is #EducationDay!
In 2018, 34 million secondary school-aged #girls in Africa did not have access to secondary education and there is still a huge gap between #sexualeducation and adolescent women, who are most vulnerable and at risk of #HIVinfection! (1/3)
Ever heard of #PrEP❓
#PrEP (Pre-exposure prophylaxis) is a #safersex method and a real game changer in the prevention of #HIV. #PrEP is taken by people who are not living with HIV and dramatically reduces the risk of #HIVinfection! Learn more on #PrEP in today’s #FAQFacts 👇🏻
Excited to be at the #GlobalDigitalHealthForum today and not only learn a lot, but also to meet fellow advocates who are helping to use digital technology to make prevention more accessible to young people. #UpdateHIV
