#TB remains the top killer among people living with HIV. Timely diagnosis & treatment are crucial.

In Eastern Europe & Central Asia, there is an urgent need for optimized TB diagnostic & HIV care.

Integration of services are vital to save peoples' life. #EndTB #EndAIDS

Civil society is vital in #AIDS response, bolstering public health measures, crucial for marginalized communities to access HIV services. Limiting activities obstructs progress. Support UN in Kyrgyzstan 🇺🇳🇰🇬's statement on NGO law amendments & call for inclusive dialogue. @AnteGrawe

In #Uzbekistan , early marriage&limited sexual education contribute to low #HIV awareness among young women.

In 2021, the number of 18-19 y.o. girls married rose by 50% since 2015.

Only 14% of women aged 15-49 have comprehensive HIV knowledge, dropping to 10% among 15-25 y.o.

Excited to kick off the Regional EECA consensus building meeting w/ key CS partners to address political& human rights pushback, mobilizing Rise&Decriminalize Movement, focusing on access to justice, comprehensive care &freedom from legal restrictions! #letCommunitiesLead

Big kudos to #Armenia for making important step in #HIV prevention! Recent changes introduced by MOH, backed by community advocacy &international collaboration, now extend post-contact HIV prevention services to all. A significant move towards commitment to end AIDS by 2030!

Everyone, regardless of, who they are, who they love or where they live, has a right to health.

As we mark #ZeroDiscrimination Day, let's unite and reflect: To protect everyone's health, we must protect everyone's rights.

Discrimination discourages people from accessing health-care services, including #HIV prevention methods, learning their HIV status, enrolling in care and adhering to treatment. We must protect everyone’s rights to protect everyone’s health.

NGOs advocate for equality and justice, crucial for an inclusive society. On #WorldNGODay , we thank them for supporting HIV+ individuals with emotional, informational, and social services. 🙏
