By extending state #ADAPs ’ coverage to include LAI-ART, we take a significant step towards equitable access for all people living with #HIV . IAPAC iapac.org/2024/04/12/iap…

💯! People living with HIV (PLHIV) in the US need access and coverage for long acting injectables, especially with the US having such a low viral suppression rate (defined in the US as under 200 copies/mL).

😳 Data show only 60% of PLHIV in the US have a suppressed viral load.

Some ADAP Programs Are Not Covering Long-Acting Injectables

To deny another option to people who can’t or won’t take daily oral medication for their HIV is wrong, says José M Zuniga/IAPAC.

Thanks Tim Horn/NASTAD for the cost breakdown.

#Undetectable equals #Untransmittable (U=U) is a shared interest.
It leaves everyone safe, healthy, & happy.
It stops the fears of loving & living, & builds healthier relationships.
The benefits of early testing & #ART start with a decision not to be limited or deterred by stigma.

Nasty anti-gay conference happening in Uganda. Claims to be for “African values”. But an African human rights organisation has noted how the conference logo is the same one that was led by Family Watch International, a US group run by Sharon Slater.

.World Health Organization (WHO) calls for removal of all obstacles to the delivery of urgent humanitarian assistance into and across #Gaza , at the scale that is required.

A ceasefire is needed urgently for the sake of humanity.

This film moved me to tears and inspired me… and then I became outraged. Why did I become outraged?

Because I know how learning about and believing #UequalsU changes lives —-and yet too many of our leaders and powerful organizations are doing little to nothing to share the

Bruce Richman ☮️❤️ #UequalsU Powerful message! It's outrageous that such life-changing info isn't widespread. Sharing #UequalsU now!

It’s important to understand how we’ve got to where we are now in the HIV epidemic and why #UequalsU is so crucial - for people as individuals and to end the epidemic. This film tells this story. The book is fab too!!!

Speaking at the launch of #UequalsU Campaign today, SANAC CEO, Dr. Xulu said, 'U=U encourages active viral load monitoring and a strong motivation for treatment adherence. It also demonstrates the benefit of HIV testing so that an infected person can make informed life choices'.

Chance CAN give you so much; but Chance CAN’T GIVE U HIV!
