It’s time! On heels of a successful #FTC24 it’s time to register for #Continuum25 June 10-12, 2025, in beautiful @SJCiudadCapital! Read on about our conference theme Reframing #HIV Care and check out our abstract track, registration and abstract portals now open!
SAVE THE DATE: #Continuum25 conference will take place June 10-12, 2025, in San Juan, PR. #HIV PrEP and ART are on the agenda, but so too are social determinants of health and a new primary care and #HRQoL track. Abstract submission portal is open. iapac.org/conferences/co…
US #FastTrackCities: Have you submitted your abstracts for the US Fast-Track Cities 2025 Summit (15-17 September 2025 in New Orleans)? If not, the deadline is July 30, 2025. Learn more: iapac.org/conferences/us…
The #HIVMedicationAccessAct would ensure #PrEP for #HIV would be available through @PEPFAR to all communities. We cannot expect to end the HIV epidemic while restricting PrEP access from the very communities that are most vulnerable congress.gov/bill/119th-con…
Exuse me…what?
I can only hope that one day these people will understand the crime in which they've taken part

Read @JoseM_Zuniga blog on @pozmagazine on today’s release of the Zero HIV Stigma Day 2025 Report #ZHSD #ZeroHIVStigmaDay The report features analysis, quotes from our ZHSD partners, recommendations, and our call to action to be HIV Stigma Warriors! poz.com/blog/unmasking…

This #ZeroHIVStigmaDay, we’re standing up for a future where no one is held back by myths or harmful attitudes. Stigma makes it harder for people to get tested, access care, and live well. Let’s build a community rooted in support, not stigma. Learn how: bouncetozero.com

Today is #ZeroHIVStigmaDay I had the pleasure of joining an incredible reception hosted by @NazProjectLdn to mark the day and learnt more about the great work they do from their Chair Sanjay who also happens to be a Brent resident! The power to end stigma lies with all of us.
London is leading the way to reach zero HIV transmissions, but many people living with HIV still experience discrimination. I will continue to do everything I can to tackle this, with City Hall a founding member of the HIV Confident anti-stigma charter. #ZeroHIVStigmaDay
In the rush to scale-up #PrEP, is the scientific community underutilizing #UequalsU as a powerful prevention tool? I hope the #AIDS2026 planners heed Randy Davis’ call to center U=U. open.substack.com/pub/theacciden…
Today, science has delivered: -HIV prevention at twice yearly injections -HIV treatment down to 1 pill a day Even with these revolutions-the leading cause of death with HIV is all too human: #stigma. The challenge of acceptance is the easiest to solve but hardest to break.

Saving #PEPFAR sent waves of relief through last week’s #IAS2025, but #HIV advocates say it should be a wake-up call. “We need to figure out how to use our own resources more effectively, so our lives are not at the mercy of others,” said one activist. positivelyaware.com/rethinking-glo…

Incremental change will not end the #HIV epidemic. @IAPAC’s latest policy brief urges a radical overhaul of HIV prevention in the U.S. – tearing down cost and other barriers. Lenacapavir for #PrEP is a defining moment. Let us not fail our communities. iapac.org/2025/07/03/hiv…
