Focus on the fourth and equally as important target of 95% of PLWHIV on treatment experiencing good health-related quality of life, including a significant reduction in stigma, is an essential component to achieving our goals.
The work continues. ✊🏻
🇮🇪 Ireland achieves 90-99-99 in its progress towards the UNAIDS 95-95-95 targets to end the HIV epidemic by 2030.

It’s critical that Europe and the US hear this call from African nations and step up. There’s no need to repeat mistakes of the past.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the mpox surge in Africa a global public health emergency, sounding its highest possible alarm over the worsening situation

Really glad to see this issue being highlighted in Irish media. People living with HIV should not be forced to travel elsewhere for IVF or other fertility treatments. Unfortunately this issue is deeply rooted in outdated EU law, but not in line with current evidence. Despite the
My first first-author paper has just been published. 🥳✨
In this work we report the impact on sexual health service access for gbMSM during the pandemic.
