Last workshop of the year with the Portuguese Fast-Track Cities focused on designing a roadmap to achieve HCV elimination by 2030 and increase political engagement. Thank you participants for the elevated discussion. So good to be back home 🤗 IAPAC sponsored by: AbbVie#portugal

Kudos to my colleagues Dashiell Sears, MPP and Sindhu Ravishankar for pulling the first of several alignment workshops in the U.S.! I’m sure we will have a lot of good practices to showcase at #FTC2023.

We welcome #Benguela to the Fast-Track Cities network as the second Angolan City. Also got the chance to meet two local NGOs that are in the forefront of supporting PLHIV in Benguela. Too many unmet needs and too much stigma and discrimination towards PLHIV 💔 IAPAC

We must all speak up against any type and form of HIV-related stigma. It will not suffice to only say that we don’t discriminate. We must stand next to PLHIV and condemn and repudiate any type of negative labelling, downgrading, or oppression in all setting. #ZeroHIVStigmaDay
