Today, we reaffirm what we stand for at Freddie: making HIV prevention and care more accessible, while helping break down stigma. With modern treatment, people living with HIV live long, healthy lives. Everyone deserves care without fear or judgment 💚 U=U.

HIV stigma discourages people from learning about their HIV status, accessing treatment, and staying on treatment. #ZeroHIVStigmaDay #HIV #UmeansU #stigma #HIVtreatment #EndStigma #ZHSD

STI testing (no matter where you get tested) is a form of self-care 🧪🧫🫶 #SelfCare #STItesting

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

Self-care is also about increasing access to essential health services.

When it comes to your sexual and reproductive health, it could mean access to:
- HIV self-testing,
- Self-testing for pregnancy
- and more.

A big part of self-care is also about having the tools and the right to make decisions about your own body — without barriers.

[Free the Pill @freethepill]

Different people experience disability in different ways, and anyone can become disabled at any point in their life. Over 70 million people (about 1 in 4 adults) in the US have a disability, yet many still face barriers to being fully included, respected, valued, and supported.
