We joined 18 organizations in signing onto an amicus brief filed today in the Kennedy v Braidwood case. We aim to defend the ACA’s preventive service mandate + access to #PrEP and #HIV / #hepatitis testing. hivhep.org/wp-content/upl…

Given the hostile and politically charged environment in the U.S. we must move from symbolic gestures to bold action. Read José M Zuniga’s blogpost on #ZeroDiscriminationDay: poz.com/blog/zero-disc…

We have seen the callousness with which DOGE, acquiesced by instruments of government, dismantled USAID. We must not allow CDC HIV to be similarly hobbled. Call your Congressional representatives. Tell them to #SaveHIVFunding. Senate: (202) 224-3121 House: (202) 225-3121

The Trump administration has reportedly dismissed the entire staff of the HHS.gov Office of Infectious Disease & #HIV/AIDS Policy. During a time of rising STI rates & 100% preventable HIV transmissions? #PublicHealth

Cutting OIDP was not enough? The Office of Minority Health? Gone. Policy and Data Division supporting the Ryan White Program? Gutted. Hundreds at HRSA Bureau of Primary Health Care? Fired. This is a full-on attack on health equity and the U.S. #HIV response.

Heading to Washington, DC, today for #AIDSWatch2025. The stakes could not be higher. With the US and global #HIV responses under assault, we must protect progress, defend equity, and demand 100% accountability. #HIVjustice

4 days of #Continuum2025 have reinforced for me just how very important it is to be in community to address the needs of people who are affected by #HIV. Deeply grateful to ~500 delegates for an examination of how we optimize the care continuum in the current environment.
