The HIV response has unfinished business.
@UNAIDS 2026: 5.0 million people didn’t know their status in 2025. 32.1 million were on treatment. 74% were virally suppressed.
It isn’t finished until everyone diagnosed can stay well. #PLHIVLeadersNow @floriako @SboNkosiZA
Self-care is part of living well with HIV.
Take your meds. Rest. Eat. Move a little. Call someone you can trust. Say no when you need to.
What is one thing you did for yourself this month? 👇

UNAIDS helped found the GIPA principle, putting the meaningful involvement of people living with HIV at the heart of the HIV response.
Florence Riako Anam (@floriako), Co-Executive Director of @gnpplus, reflects on how UNAIDS has helped turn that principle into practice, supporting people living with and affected by HIV to have a voice in governance, decision-making and policy, from global to country level.
#WorldMentalHealthDay For PLHIV means mental health care belongs inside HIV care.
A 2025 review of 59 studies in 17 African countries: about 1 in 3 PLHIV had depressive symptoms.
PLHIV who felt stigmatised had about 3.6x odds of those symptoms.

A quotes dump!
What was spoken at the HIV Cure Summit in Nairobi, on one question: how do we prepare the world for a HIV cure?

@NJotwoma Nelson Otwoma, ED @NEPHAKKENYA "We cannot expect communities to trust clinical trials and new medicines if we have not first invested in helping them understand the science behind them. " Preparedness starts with literacy, not persuasion after the fact.
