Dr. Motsoaledi @HealthZA called the current HIV funding crisis a wake-up call for all governments, at the launch of the #GlobalAIDSUpdate2025. He urged countries to take greater ownership of their HIV response to protect the health of their people. youtube.com/watch?v=jA3FSc…
Professor Rees @WitsRHI reminded us that HIV research has delivered global breakthroughs—from cutting-edge treatments to community-led care models. She urged world leaders not to walk away from research promises made under pandemic preparedness plans as progress depends on it.

Stigma&discrimination against people living with HIV remains a huge barrier to accessing health care. As we observe this day, we also remember the iconic Prudence Mabele who courageously fought for equity&dignity for all 🙌 #zerohivstigmaday

Mandela’s legacy reminds us that each of us has the power & responsibility to make the world a better place. Every act of kindness, big or small, helps carry forward his vision of equality and justice for all. This #MandelaDay, take action, inspire change in communities. 💙
#MandelaDay2025 On this day, we honour @NelsonMandela legacy by reaffirming our commitment to equity in health for all. Because building a healthier, more just world means ensuring no one is left behind regardless of income, geography, or status.
I was impressed by the @BerthaGxowa_H ARV distribution system for 3-month dispensing and how they even call patients after 7 days' delays to pick up drugs. They are conscious of stigma and ensure that the system is non-discriminatory. #StopStigma #endAIDS
It was a privilege last week to visit the @BerthaGxowa_H district hospital in Ekurhuleni, outside Johannesburg, along with Dr Aaron Motsoaledi, 🇿🇦 Minister of Health @HealthZA, and Humile Mashatile, 2nd Lady and Patron of the Global Alliance to End Pediatric Aids. Inspired to…
The women's SRHR clinic was impressive & included a strong focus on how they use technology to detect & treat cervical cancer. Also learnt that 🇿🇦 govt has an impressive HPV vaccine programme reaching over 5 million young women in public school from as early as 9 years. #endAIDS

Minister of @HealthZA Dr. Aaron Motsoaledi and @UNAIDS Executive Director, Patron of the SA Global Alliance to End AIDS in Children, are at @BerthaGxowa_H for the launch of the UNAIDS Global AIDS Update. They began with a walkabout at the Women’s Health Clinic and pharmacy.
40.8 million people were living with HIV globally, in 2024. With funding for the global HIV response declining, we risk seeing this number rise, reversing years of progress. We cannot afford more new HIV infections. #GlobalAIDSUpdate2015
“Ending AIDS in children by 2030 is not a slogan. It is a promise that every child deserves to grow up healthy, happy & HIV-free.” - Humile Mashatile, 🇿🇦 Patron of the #GlobalAllianceEndAIDS. WATCH her full message of support at the #GlobalAIDSUpdate2025 ⬇️📺 #ForEveryChild
The words of Reverend Mbulelo Dyasi, Executive Director, SANARELA @SA_AIDSCOUNCIL are still ringing in my ears, that despite all the aids cuts, "This time we are refusing to die. If the West and Europe expect to see us dying, not this time around. We are refusing. We must make…
So inspired listening to Dr Aaron Motsoaledi, Minister of Health @HealthZA - and his promise that “we will move mountains and rivers to make sure adolescent girls will get Lenacapavir”. This is the gamechanger we need to change the trajectory of this epidemic! ✊🏾✊🏾…
