PrEP is one way people take control of their health. It helps prevent HIV, protects the person using it, and helps keep others safe too. Prevention isn’t just personal it’s collective. #PrEP #HIV #HIVPrevention #SexualHealth

Ophelia Haanyama reflects on decades of work reaching migrants across the full spectrum of migration status from undocumented individuals to diplomats. She explains why effective HIV prevention and testing must be community-based, culturally grounded, and responsive to people’s lived realities.

Total freedom. No second-guessing. There is nothing more attractive than confidence. PrEP isn't just about protection; it’s about taking the driver's seat in your sexual health so you can focus on what really matters - the connection and the pleasure. 🇫🇷 #PrEP #HIV #HIVPrevention #SexualHealth

PrEP offers near 100% protection against HIV, yet Black communities are still being left behind. Dr Michael Brady explains how stigma, limited access, and PrEP being confined to sexual health clinics must change. PrEP is for anyone at risk.

From our monthly broadcast: Dr Michael Brady highlights that despite life-changing HIV treatment, many people disengage from care due to stigma and social pressures. Peer support and community-led services remain vital to reconnect people to care. @phoenixhealthm.bsky.social

This year’s theme “Overcoming disruption, transforming the AIDS response” is a call to face reality: political uncertainty, funding cuts and misinformation are weakening the HIV response. We must rethink financing with stronger UK investment and innovative models that actually support communities.

For years, it was believed women with HIV hit menopause earlier but that might not be the full story. With better treatment, timing looks similar to women without HIV, yet symptoms can be far more severe. #MenopauseAwarenes #WomensHealth Link to full video: youtube.com/live/k-KcC9jeZ…
