Michael Payne MP reports on the importance of the voluntary sector in ending HIV transmission in the UK @politicshome.bsky.social @appghiv.bsky.social @nat.org.uk @hivoutcomes.bsky.social

Policy and commissioning must recognise we cannot end HIV cases without the voluntary sector

This week, the APPG on HIV & Sexual Health and the National AIDS Trust co-hosted a packed and powerful reception to mark the launch of HIV Outcomes...

I wrote about the devastating impact that international aid cuts will have on the HIV sector globally for @the-independent.com “We cannot sit back and watch this humanitarian disaster unfold. We must act.” www.independent.co.uk/voices/labou...

I’m a doctor specialising in HIV – we should be very afraid of cuts to Aids funding

Hospitals will see a surge of people with Aids-related conditions that we should no longer see in this age of effective treatment, warns Dr Rageshri Dhairyawan

Attending @bhiva.bsky.social conference in Brighton this morning. Looking forward to hear from @richardangell.bsky.social James Cole Juddy Otti @profygilleece.bsky.social Alessandro Ceccarelli and Caroline Sabin #BHIVA2025

GS-US-382-5445 is the first HIV cure trial conducted in Africa, and in an entirely female population! Vesatolimod + 2 bNAbs (VRC07-525LD + CAP256V2LS) was well tolerated & yielded durable ART-free virological control in 20% & atypical rebound dynamics in 40% #croi2025

The huge impact of US funding cuts are clear at #CROI2025 conference - with every session reporting crisis. Poster spots left empty as registrants unable to attend. Increased #HIV mortality predicted. #BHIVA & UK protestors demonstrating in Yerba Buena Gardens, San Francisco. #SaveOurSciences

Empower women and girls! 💪🏽 End HIV & AIDS by improving access to healthcare, educating on prevention, enforcing protective laws, investing in research, & promoting economic independence. 🌍 Let's create a stigma-free world where every woman can thrive.#EndHIV #IWD2025

Congratulations on your appointment Baroness Chapman to be the Minister for International Development. We look forward to working with you to ensure the UK's longstanding commitment to global health & development, particularly in the fight against HIV & AIDS continues

#HIV is NOT a crime❗ 🔺 #HIV decriminalisation is possible even in challenging political environments @edwinjbernard.bsky.social 🔺 Discrimination is very costly for health & economically Baroness L Barker @appghiv.bsky.social 🔺 Peer support is a lifeline & needs to be funded @stracs.bsky.social

Earlier in the week, our Director of Policy Daniel Fluskey presented the results of our research on criminalisation at an event in Parliament. Thank you @appghiv.bsky.social for marking #HIVisNotaCrime Awareness Day and for the chance to share our work.

Thanks for a moving & inspiring evening in these difficult times. #HIV decriminalisation NOW! @hivjustice.net @sophiaforum.bsky.social @nationalaidstrust.bsky.social @appghiv.bsky.social @frontlineaids.bsky.social @thtorguk.bsky.social

Our ED @edwinjbernard.bsky.social speaking at @ukparliament.parliament.uk event hosted by @appghiv.bsky.social HIV decriminalisation is possible, even in challenging political environments. But it takes: ✅ Community leadership ✅ Parliamentary action ✅ Global coordination ✅ Sustained funding

🎙️And yet another news: you can hear the discussion we held with @benvyle.bsky.social; @gilmorejnurse.bsky.social; & @edftmxxx.bsky.social on doxypep in Michelle Croston's HIV Matters podcast's special 50th episode! ▶️https://www.hivmatterspodcast.co.uk/s5e7 @appghiv.bsky.social @bhiva.bsky.social

The decision to cut Overseas Development Assistance to 0.3% of GDP from 0.5% must not undermine the UK's longstanding commitment to global health & development, particularly in the fight against HIV & AIDS. We will continue to ensure HIV is not forgotten. Our statement is here

We welcome the news that the UK will co-host the 8th Replenishment Conference for the Global Fund alongside the South African government later this year. This partnership underscores our unwavering commitment to ending AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria, and strengthening global health security.

Congratulations to @ashleydaltonmp.bsky.social on her appointment to Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Public Health and Prevention. We look forward to working with her and the @appghiv.bsky.social on ending new #HIV cases and improving the quality of life for people living with HIV.

Proud to be a part of and speak at tonight’s LGBTQ+ History Month reception hosted by @appghiv.bsky.social

🔉 @richardpyle.bsky.social @appghiv.bsky.social

Thanks to all who came along to the LGBTQ+ History Month reception last night cohosted by @appghiv.bsky.social BGIPU @eltonjohnaidsfoundation.org & Dr Frank Mugisha We've come along way in LGBTQ+ rights but with hatred on the rise, we must do more & stand up for our rights & the LGBTQ+ community.

Not enough women are accessing PrEP, the game-changing #HIV prevention drug. Thank you, David Mundell MP, Co-Chair of the @appghiv.bsky.social for raising this issue and for highlighting the need to make it available beyond #SexualHealth services to increase access to everyone who needs it.

During yesterdays urgent question on women’s health, co chair David Mundell MP highlighted the issue of PrEP and its uptake among women. What’s the question here 👇 #PrEP #HIV #Women @bhiva.bsky.social @bashhuk.bsky.social @nationalaidstrust.bsky.social @thtorguk.bsky.social

Impact of Trump's executive orders on #GlobalHealth: i-base.info/htb/50142 The stop-work order for PEPFAR put 20 million #PLWH at risk, with 1 million already denied ART #HIV #AIDS #PEPFAR #ARVs #Africa #EndAIDS

As a person living with #HIV, I can’t help see the parallels between what’s happening to federal agencies like #USAID or the #CDC and a virus that attacks your immune system, takes over a cell’s internal mechanisms for its own purposes and then obliterates the host cell.

The University of Washington's National HIV Curriculum, headed by Dr. David Spach, is one of the best on-line resources for HIV information anywhere. I refer people to it *all the time*. Really hoping valuable resources like this are up and running again soon. #IDSky www.hiv.uw.edu

The removal of #HIV- and #LGBTQ-related resources from the websites of CDC and other health agencies is deeply concerning. Access to this information is crucial for ID and HIV health care professionals. Our full statement: https://buff.ly/42AO8LI

Two weeks to go 📆 National HIV Testing Week kicks off on 10 Feb, and it’s never been easier to test. Testing is quick, free, and fits around your life. You can order a test to your now home at freetesting.hiv
