Being on a recent Seattle #HIVWomen conference panel including @DrNnekaNwokolo @vanessa_apea @o_g_ford discussing reframing conversations around HIV risk for black women was phenomenal - but I was later asked why not ALL women? Vanessa & I discussed this on #HEALTHandPOWER

[Susan Cole-Haley FRSA @susancolehaley]

One of the highlights of #HIVWomen Workshop in Seattle was chance to hang out with so many amazing people from around the world, working to address inequities experienced by women with HIV. 😍

We have said this before... Data from Africa is data and needs to be used for what it is. It works and has worked and this should be trusted already. It's not less than data...

Moving from a "subject" mentality regarding community involvement in research - "we are *partners* in this work" - Dawn Averitt

[Carlos del Rio @CarlosdelRio7]

Dawn Averitt reminds everyone at #CROI2023 New Investigators Workshop what community engagement means and why it is critically important not only in HIV but in any health-related issue.

[Olivia G. Ford @o_g_ford]

Fierce longtime advocate, friend & @thewellproject founder Dawn Averitt promises a "hug" of a talk among this morning's lectures - it is warm, but firm! Essential to *meaningfully* engage community at EVERY step of the research process
#CROI2023

[AVAC @HIVpxresearch]

Looking forward to an amazing session, especially @RaphaelYvette talking about the power and importance of advocacy to end AIDS #CROI2023 @apha_sa

[Olivia G. Ford @o_g_ford]

What do we do with providers who are so resistant around #breastfeeding & #HIV? If Black maternal/infant mortality is so high & breastfeeding could help w/ that, why are they just considering this <1% possibility of transmission? @CiCi_HIV
