Latin America is entering a new era of #HIV treatment choice, but innovation alone is not enough. Closing our MPP-@pahowho-@UNITAID #AIDS2026 session, Lobna Gaayeb (@Lobnacting ), MPP, highlighted three priorities for turning WHO recommendations into impact: availability, awareness and health system readiness. “Innovation without access is not innovation for the people who need it most.” From TLD to DTG/3TC, TAF-based regimens and future long-acting options, the goal is clear: the right regimen for the right person at the right time.

The next generation of HIV treatment is already within reach. At #AIDS2026, Sébastien Morin of @MedsPatentPool highlighted how voluntary licensing has already helped expand access to affordable HIV medicines in 125 countries and reach 24 million people with generic TLD. Now, attention is turning to TAF-based regimens, DTG/3TC dual therapy and future long-acting injectable options. “Access does not happen automatically. It requires licensing, generic competition, regulatory preparedness and clear demand from countries.” #HIV #AccessToMedicines #GlobalHealth

On this #WorldHepatitisDay 2026, MPP Executive Director @CharlieGore's message is clear: progress towards eliminating viral hepatitis by 2030 is off track. Despite affordable testing and treatment, too many people remain undiagnosed and untreated and hepatitis B deaths continue to rise. The tools exist, we need the political will to use them. Advocacy has never been more important. Together, we can turn commitments into action, expand access to lifesaving care and get hepatitis elimination back on track. The question isn't whether we can act. It's whether we will. 👉 medicinespatentpool.org/news… #Hepatitis #GlobalHealth #PublicHealth #HealthEquity #WHDRelay #AIDS2026 @Hep_Alliance

💉New advancements to prevent #RSV infection bring hope on this #WorldPneumoniaDay ✨ ! 💪🏽Maternal vaccination and monoclonal antibodies like #nirsevimab and #clesrovimab offer promising protection against RSV. 🇺🇳@WHO’s SAGE recommended that all countries introduce passive immunisation for the prevention of severe RSV disease in young infants👶🏽🐣. ✨At MPP, we believe in the power of voluntary licensing and technology transfer to make life-saving RSV therapies accessible and affordable especially in low- and middle-income countries🌍 where the massive burden of RSV is concentrated. ➡️Read the message from MPP Executive Director @CharlieGore and spread the word! 🔗 bit.ly/40FGL4G @Stop_Pneumonia @wellcometrust @IAVI @unitaid @ReSViNET #BetterMeds4Kids #RSVPrevention #GlobalHealth

📢On this #WorldHepatitisDay, let's amplify the urgent message from @CharlieGore: The fight against #hepatitis is at a critical juncture. Despite having the tools to prevent and treat hepatitis B and C, mortality rates are rising, and we are veering off course from the 2030 target. ✊🏽It's #TimeForAction, not complacency.
