While the HIV sector continues to expand, many communities still experience inequities in HIV care and services — including people from culturally diverse backgrounds and migrants. For me, this is a reminder that an equitable HIV response means making sure nobody is left behind.

Seeing scholars, community advocates, healthcare workers, peer workers and activists come together reminded me of the incredible synergy within the HIV sector. This is my base.

HIV&AIDS 2026 | Naarm Melbourne I had the privilege of presenting my PhD systematic review on how the lived experiences of men who have sex with men are being embedded in the HIV response. But beyond presenting my research, this conference gave me a lot to reflect on.

Excited to be presenting at the Australasian HIV&AIDS Conference 2026 in Naarm (Melbourne)! 🇦🇺 Looking forward to reconnecting with colleagues and meeting others working across HIV research, practice, policy, and community advocacy. #HIVAIDS2026 #HIVResearch #PublicHealth

Publishing is only part of the journey. This short video shares a key message from our recent @healthpromint.bsky.social paper: meaningful community engagement means moving beyond participation to lived experience leadership. I hope it makes our research more accessible beyond academia.

A takeaway from this week’s Multicultural HIV and Health Symposium: Different perspectives across communities, research, policy, and practice are not barriers—they are opportunities for innovation. Meaningful participation and shared power remain essential for health equity.

Last week, I joined the Multicultural HIV and Health Symposium hosted by Health Equity Matters. One key reflection: stronger HIV responses require greater alignment across advocacy, policy, research, and community sectors. Collaboration matters. #HIV #HealthEquity #LGBTQIA

SASP 2025 in Naarm/Melbourne reminded me that academia isn’t just about papers—it’s about people. Seeing my PhD peers grow, reconnecting with collaborators, and witnessing efforts to center marginalized voices made this conference deeply meaningful. Grateful and re-energized.

Aron Harold G. Pamoso @aaronharoldp.bsky.social · 17/12/2025

What stayed with me most was the sense of community—seeing old collaborators, meeting new ones, and witnessing how fellow PhD students continue to grow. The launch of a Marginalized Groups initiative felt especially important. Excited for what’s next.

We argue that HIV responses must be more culturally grounded, nuanced, and aware of how people protect their social standing in contexts where sex, morality, and respectability deeply intersect. Let’s keep the conversation going. 🔗 doi.org/10.1177/002214… #HIVStigma #HIVResearch #HealthEquity

▶️ This shapes HIV talk, health-seeking, and testing decisions. In short: stigma influences the “unmarked,” too — not just those living with HIV. 🔗 doi.org/10.1177/002214… #HIVStigma #HIVResearch #HealthEquity

Our findings highlight that HIV stigma doesn’t only impact those with a positive diagnosis — it also affects people who don’t have the stigmatized “mark.” ▶️ People modulate their behavior across different life domains to avoid losing social respect. 🔗 doi.org/10.1177/002214… #HIVStigma #HIVResearch

Using grounded theory, we found that many men who have sex with men and transgender women navigate “management of social standing” — protecting their reputation while deciding if, when, and how to talk about HIV or get tested. 🔗 doi.org/10.1177/002214… #HIVStigma #HIVResearch

Reflexivity must be practiced at every stage of research — to process, challenge, and ground ourselves in humility.
