HIV among young people costs South Africa $11B! Lack of investment in access to testing and treatment results in continuous new HIV infections and that delay in reaching young people costs lives and billions in lifetime health expenses! 👉🏿bit.ly/4edzb68 #2gether4SRHR
Sustainability of HIV and SRHR progress cannot be someone else’s responsibility. It must be a shared agenda that recognises the contribution of young people in official processes. This was one of the key lessons Cyprian, a READY Leader, learnt at the ESA Youth-Led Forum. Read…

Eye opening and engaging Zero HIV Stigma Day pre-event involving UN Zambia SDG Supporters, UNAIDS Zambia, National AIDS Council, Civil Society, People Living with HIV and media. Fostered collective action against HIV stigma. #ZeroHIVStigmaDay @UNZambia
Stigma and discrimination continue to be major barriers to HIV prevention, care, and treatment. Excited to see our esteemed SDG Supporters (B’Flow, Pompi, Esther, Lulu, Wezi, Florence) join stakeholders in planning for the upcoming #ZeroHIVStigmaDay. @UNZambia
Prof Mbulelo Dyasi @PsDyasi expressed concern on behalf of people living with HIV, particularly amid PEPFAR funding cuts, at the #GlobalAIDSUpdate2025 launch. He said such a move could undo the progress made in South Africa, in reducing stigma and improving access to HIV care.
At the #GlobalAIDSUpdate launch, @NkomoNomantu shared Gauteng's HIV response progress: 94% know their status, 83% are on treatment, and 93% are virally suppressed. To accelerate this progress, Gauteng launched the 1.1 ART Gap campaign, aiming to reach 326 000 more people.
The AIDS response is in crisis. But, we can still end AIDS by 2030. The power to transform the HIV response lies with us! #GlobalAIDSUpdate2025 unaids.org/en/UNAIDS-glob…
