US funding cuts have impacted Zambia’s HIV response. But the government and partners are stepping up. UNAIDS' @IsaacOffei11 shares how the country is mitigating the impacts to protect the health and lives of people living with HIV, and how UNAIDS is supporting these efforts.
Strong local action is needed to accelerate progress & #endAIDS by 2030. And local government is key in the process. "And we will #EndAIDS2030 " @UnaidsZ

People living with HIV deserve respect, dignity, and equal opportunities. End stigma! #ZeroHIVStigmaDay
Here’s the truth: When someone living with HIV is on treatment and their viral load is undetectable, they can’t pass it on. That’s what we mean when we say Undetectable = Untransmittable. Or simply U = U Let’s break the silence. Let’s end the stigma #ZeroHIVStigmaDay #UequalsU
At the 69th @LGAZZambia Conf. & 22nd AMICAALL Assembly, @IsaacOffei11 shared 🇿🇲’s latest HIV stats, emphasizing the vital role of local govts in decentralizing the HIV response. W/ Lusaka’s HIV prevalence at 14.4%, strong local action is needed to accelerate progress & #endAIDS.
