99% of new outbreak #monkeypox cases are among men, of whom 98% are gay/bi/MSM. 92% of all cases thought to be as a result of sexual activity. Vaccine supplies are limited. Activists and advocates at #AIDS2022 demand better. aidsmap.com/news/aug-2022/…

Early data suggests people with #HIV have a weaker response to the first dose of the #monkeypox vaccine, suggesting we should be prioritised for 2nd doses. More info on monkeypox for people with HIV on aidsmap. aidsmap.com/news/jun-2022/…

“Share the drugs!” demanded activists at a hastily convened #monkeypox session at #AIDS2022. Demand for vaccination as a result of the new outbreak highlights the inequities that have left countries struggling for years without access. H/t Liz Highleyman.

They are not necessarily “boundary rds”. Most are not “main roads” in the true sense of the word. They are usually not “high streets”. What they are is roads where poorer people, Black people & Asian people live.

Today is #WorldAIDSDay when we remember all those we have lost to AIDS and HIV and look forward to a brighter tomorrow for all those now living with HIV - anti-retroviral medications mean people with HIV can now live long, happy and healthy lives Sending out Love & Light ❤️ ☀️

We’re very sad to say that after more than 7 years Lewisham LGBT Forum is closing. Saxon and Stephe have tried for some considerable time to find safe hands to take it over but that has not been possible and so we have sadly taken the decision to close. lewishamlgbtforum.wordpress.com

Very sad to see Lewisham LGBT Forum go. It’s incredibly difficult finding dedicated volunteers to do such a varied brief & often with little support/recognition. Thank you Stephe & Saxon for all the hard work you did on behalf of your boroughs #LGBTQ community. 🌈 🏳️‍⚧️

Lewisham LGBT Forum I’m so sorry to hear this as a former long time Lewisham resident. I wish you well with whatever is next and thanks for your service xx

All too often, Forum volunteers go without any thanks or praise from their peers. It’s a non stop tireless role but comes with a deep commitment to improve the lives of #LGBT residents across #London. Thank you Stephe & Saxon for your years of service to our community. Big ❤️
