As we close April, we look back, reflecting and celebrating the opportunity for us, people living with HIV, to have met during the summit in Kenya. We admit it is a challenging time; however, our gathering has reminded us of how we are stronger together as we continue the fight

Kenya has adequate stocks of ARVs to last the country until August/September. However, with dwindling donor support, more needs to be done to prevent stock outs. -Nelson Otwoma, NEPHAK Executive Director #KBCniYetu ^KG

✍️@Guardian | Lenacapavir, twice-yearly HIV prevention injection could cost just $25 per patient a year, say researchers—yet may be priced at 1000x more. This medicine could help end the HIV pandemic. We urge Gilead Sciences: Do the right thing. Make it affordable. Save lives.

The #UN80 proposal to close #UNAIDS, sends a terrible and wrong message to governments, which is that there is no longer need to respond to the #HIV epidemic as if it was controled or finished. Don't sacrifice UNAIDS Global oikoumene.org/blog/dont-sacr…

Read statement of Violeta, World Council of Churches, on #UN80: “UNAIDS is not just a UN programme, it is a lifeline. For many communities, it is the only ally in the HIV response. UNAIDS is essential to the global HIV response, and its dismantling would be catastrophic.”

Unitaid is tackling the carbon footprint of dolutegravir, a vital HIV treatment. Every year, its production emits as much CO2 as a city like Geneva. Watch this video to learn how we can cut these emissions by up to 90% without increasing costs. 👇
