The activism around the #HIV response marked a line in global health more broadly. I honor being capacitated and joining advocacy program done by the IAS - the International AIDS Society team, they come with a demand that communities be up front and #PutPeopleFirst in center of health crisis response.

Bravo olly alexander - that was perfection!!!! #Eurovision2024

The Home Office just told an Immigration Judge that a traumatised Afghan 13-yr-old, living by himself in a Middle East country, doesn’t need to come to the UK to be reunited with what’s left of his family, because he can enjoy family life with them via WhatsApp

So pleased to see this.

My sexual health service asked to the drug company for compassionate access and they refused because I couldn't swallow tablets, ignoring the social factors.

Glad this will now be rolled out & hopefully to sex workers.

DOVATO AVAILABLE BLISTER PACKS! In the UK at least..... I genuinely think this is fabulous for people who struggle to remember if they have taken their meds & you can even tear off 3 or 4 day portions. I've not been this excited for a while.....!!
