Young p'ple are demanding #HIVPrevention Choices.

We KNOW the tools. We DEMAND the choice.

Another powerful abstract at #IAS2025! “Examining unmet PrEP need and PrEP equity among young people” using pooled data from three African countries. This research sheds light on where gaps still exist and what it will take to make PrEP access truly equitable for young people.

Happened today at #IAS2025: “What’s New & Next in HIV Prevention” with Mitchell Warren of @HIVpxresearch.
More than stats and slides, it was a reminder that behind every innovation is a person who needs it. Choice, equity, and access aren’t optional they’re urgent.

Women & girls bear the global burden of #HIV They deserve more prevention options that fits their needs.
One is the #DapivirineVaginalRing a long-acting ring that helps reduce HIV risk during vaginal sex.
#dareforprogress #EmpoweringTz #FundTheRing #FacilitateChoice
And here we are, we need longer acting HIV prevention tools now more than ever, a mid interruption of prevention services, and many uncertainities, local investment in HIV responce is needed now! #HIVpreventionbychoice #Empoweringtz
Around the world, girls & women are disproportionally affected by #HIV. That's why female-controlled preventive tools are critical in HIV prevention!
In this video, @liliogreen dives into the importance of the #Dapivirine vaginal ring.

Dr. Lilian Benjamin Mwakyosi retweeted
Dr @liliogreen: “I’ve witnessed how we’ve moved on from having only condom as HIV prevention – with the first prevention method just for women; the #DapivirineVaginalRing and long-acting injecting PrEP. This gives me hope that we will finally have choice in HIV prevention.”
