Even with at least 18 nurses running for Congress in 2026, nurses remain underrepresented in elected office relative to their share of the US workforce. Nursing voices are essential to shape the future of health policy. It’s still not too late to make a plan to vote: bit.ly/4ynS7IB

Latino communities have long shown remarkable health resilience. That advantage is eroding as anti-Latino hostility & isolation take a growing toll. From 2015–24, Latino suicide deaths rose 29% & overdose deaths 115%: nbcnews.to/4gESAhZ Non-paywall Spanish: tlmdo.co/3UteTjp

IPS research shows the US public holds more common ground in their views on health inequities than we might think. Thanks to Lara Salahi @AHCJ for highlighting this work: bit.ly/3SdcUyM

As false narratives increasingly add to US Latino uncertainty & harm, it is even more vital to ground dicussions in science. Our July Policy Rx covers CLAFH work in @nejm.org, examining how false narratives obscure US Latino contributions, threatening Latino & nation health: bit.ly/4pSii6M

At AIDS 2026 last week, responsibility and accountability were central. As donor funding contracts, countries must lead their HIV responses—but wealthy nations, global institutions and industry must ensure transitions are fair, funded and protect people and hard-won gains.

Institute for Policy Solutions @ipsnowjhson.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

I’m inspired by HIV prevention & treatment advances explored at last week’s AIDS 2026, like long-acting twice-yearly lenacapavir & AI across the continuum. But innovation without access is injustice. Ending AIDS means pairing science w/ policies & systems to reach all, including the most impacted.

Institute for Policy Solutions @ipsnowjhson.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

Some of Thursday’s most powerful experiences at AIDS 2026 occurred beyond formal presentations, in the Global Village. Science gives us essential evidence and tools. Art helps create the empathy, urgency and public will required to use them. To end HIV and eliminate health inequities, we need both.

Institute for Policy Solutions @ipsnowjhson.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

Thursday’s AIDS 2026 session, 'Breaking the Inequality Cycle Driving Ebola, AIDS, COVID and Beyond' reinforced truth that should reshape public health: inequalities do not only influence who is harmed by a pandemic. They determine if outbreaks become longer, deadlier and more difficult to control.

Institute for Policy Solutions @ipsnowjhson.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

Thursday’s AIDS 2026 plenary offered powerful lessons. Sanjay Pujar presented on integrating clinical strategies for HIV, tuberculosis & noncommunicable disease. Paula Luz shared a reminder that unjust, preventable health inequities are pervasive because they are produced by policy & systems design.

Institute for Policy Solutions @ipsnowjhson.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

Paulie Amanita Calderon-Cifuentes’s AIDS 2026 presentation on ensuring gender-affirming care access offered lessons extending beyond any one country or population. I was especially struck by parallels between invisibility experienced by transgender people globally & the invisibility of US Latinos.

Raphael Landovitz’s AIDS 2026 'PrEP 2026: State of the ART' was inspiring & sobering. Science brings a wealth of PrEP options for HIV prevention. But discovery ≠ delivery. Funding cuts threaten uptake & progress. We can't celebrate breakthroughs while making access harder for the most affected.
