Huge news for Vermont! Vermont is poised to become one of the first states to lead the US in opening OPCs, a life-saving & evidence-based harm reduction practice with decades of research behind it. Kudos to all the activists who made this happen, including my love Mike Selick
PEPFARโs cuts to key population #HIV program budgets are dangerous and arenโt based on evidence. Dr. John Nkengasong, follow the evidence and #StopTheKPCuts

โOur communities are under attack and being driven away from health services but #PEPFAR is cutting funding for life-saving #LGBTQ #HIV programs. It makes no sense. Dr. John Nkengasong #StopTheKPCuts today!โ
PEPFAR is turning its back on Key Populations with #HIV funding cuts that are not based on evidence.

Dr. John Nkengasong, follow the evidence and #StopTheKPCuts !
#HIV funding cuts kill. Today, we're calling on Dr. John Nkengasong to #StopTheKPCuts and reprogram these funds for high-quality, KP-led interventions.
We need PEPFAR to expand HIV treatment, prevention, human rights and other structural interventions to hit the 95-95-95 targets!

No better way to celebrate #WorldIPDay than by celebrating Colombia's bold move to prioritize lives over ViiV Healthcare's monopoly. Superior treatment options won't be priced out of reach of Colombians w #HIV anymore!
It's what real eadership on pandemic response looks like. Viva ๐จ๐ด!
Colombia's๐จ๐ด compulsory license for generic dolutegravir could mean that the price of this life-saving HIV med is reduced by as much as 80%โbreaking big pharma monopoly & a breakthrough for public health.
Happy #WorldIPDay !

This & more is what student activists are protesting. While President Biden ignores Israel's flagrant violations of international law, it calls brave, non violent, lawful protest led by Black, brown, Muslim, Jewish, & queers 'horrific.' Wrong side in the face of genocide, President Biden. Shame.
