🇺🇬 A Ugandan man has been charged with 'aggravated homosexuality' and could now face the death penalty.
🏳️🌈 The 20-year-old is the first to face the charge since Uganda enacted some of the world's harshest laws targeting the LGBTQ+ community in May.
There is an opportunity now to #endAIDS by investing in a sustainable response to HIV through financing what matters most:
