🚨 TOMORROW is the day. 🚨
Our Seven Days in June: HEALTH IS PRIMARY rally, The Cost of Survival, kicks off tomorrow at 12:00 PM EST, and we need you standing with us.
Politicians are hoping that nobody is paying attention to the $1 trillion in cuts to healthcare that take effect later this year. They are betting that we are too distracted or too tired to fight back. Let's show them they are wrong.
Health cuts kill, and we will not let our community pay the price. We look forward to seeing you tomorrow.

Percentage of PrEP Users vs Percentage of New HIV Diagnosed.
Although we are making progress in reducing new HIV infections, definite gaps exist. #PrEP #HIVprevention #EndHIV @HealthHIV @HealthHCV @adapadvocacy @nhmtfa @CTDPH @NHVPublicHealth

📉 “We’re seeing an about-face of what it means to truly work towards ending #HIV in this country,” says Dafina Ward. Trump's proposed budget guts the “Ending the HIV Epidemic” initiative—despite a 21% drop in new infections from 2017–2022. bit.ly/42TTnpM #HIVPrevention

The 340B Drug Pricing Program was built to protect patients. Now it may need protecting. As it expands, are we asking the right questions about transparency, impact, and equity? bit.ly/340B2Big2Fail

Cutting Medicaid to pay for tax cuts isn’t just cruel — it’s deadly. Cutting Medicaid doesn’t save money, and denying people with HIV access to prevention + treatment leads to more ER visits, hospitalizations, and new transmissions. That’s more taxpayer $$, not less!!
New Haven Mayor’s Task Force on AIDS retweeted
On #HumanRightsDay, we must stand for universal, equitable access to HIV testing, treatment, and care. #UequalsU shows that undetectable = untransmittable, but this can only help end HIV if everyone has access. Ending HIV is a right, not a privilege!

I should probably attend this #AIDS2024 session, but I'm annoyed @iasociety always picks major mainstream media for these things. Pubs like @pozmagazine, @aidsmap, @TheBodyDotCom, @HIVPlusMag, @PosAware & @ActuRemaides translate HIV science & policy to the world every day.
Coming up at 16:30 CEST. #AIDS2024 session, "#PuttingPeopleFirst: How to translate science & policy to the world”, in Room 5/Channel 8. Ft:

An #AIDS2024 study by @CDCgov and partners revealed that community-based, peer-led organizations in Uganda delivered #HIV services more effectively than facility-based programs. See how they achieved this: bit.ly/3WG7Q5H

Today, we celebrate the 34th anniversary of the signing of the landmark Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This important federal civil rights law protects people living with HIV, as well as many others living with chronic health conditions or disabilities.
