The Anti-Homosexuality Act is a grave setback for the HIV-response in Uganda. The science is clear: Criminalizing already marginalized groups has negative public health impacts for the targeted groups & for society at large. The IAS stands in solidarity with the LGBTQ community.

The Anti-Homosexuality Act 2023 will obstruct health education and the outreach that can help #endAIDS as a public health threat. Together as one, @unaids @globalfund & @pepfar call for the Act to be reconsidered to ensure equitable access to health services and end AIDS by 2030.
