Update HIV

Today HIV is an epidemic of the mind. We #UpdateHIV and change the name, to end the stigma. A campaign of @faq_health.

[Update HIV @Update_HIV]

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.

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

Wholeheartedly agree on the need to intensify efforts around HIV. My thanks for the letter, which I will read with interest. #WorldAIDSDay

[Daniel Nagel @DanielNag3l]

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.

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

[Dr Matshidiso Moeti @MoetiTshidi]

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.

[Daniel Nagel @DanielNag3l]

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

[#BeFree @BeFreeYouth]

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

[kateleyritana @kateleyritana]

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)

[Linda-Gail Bekker @LindaGailBekker]

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

[Linda-Gail Bekker @LindaGailBekker]

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

[F/A/Q — The Better Health Group. @faq_health]

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)

[F/A/Q — The Better Health Group. @faq_health]

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 👇🏻

[Daniel Nagel @DanielNag3l]

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
