What is the cost of ignoring young people's sexual & reproductive health? A @UNAIDS report has the answer and it's staggering. Join us as we unpack the numbers on early pregnancy, HIV & GBV in Kenya, Rwanda & Uganda. 📆17/06 ⏰11 AM CAT 👉🏿bit.ly/4x4rsQO #2gether4SRHR

🚨 Funding cuts are threatening decades of progress against HIV. @UNAIDS warns that prevention programmes, testing services and community-led organisations are being hit hard, even as countries try to protect treatment access. 👉🏿omny.fm/shows/africa-update/…

Speaking to @_BongiweZwane from @SABCNews, UNAIDS Executive Director @Winnie_Byanyima shared: - access to prevention treatment -children; and - community-led services, were the most affected after the funding cuts from last year. WATCH BELOW ⤵️ #unitedtoendAIDS

📢NEW REPORT JUST OUT! @UNAIDS has launched the Global AIDS Brief report, with the latest data on #HIV following major disruptions in 2025, days ahead of the #HLM2026AIDS. Read the report now 👉🏿unaids.org/en/resources/docu… #UnitedToEndAIDS

PRESS RELEASE: A ‘perilous moment’ for the response to HIV warns UNAIDS 🔗unaids.org/en/resources/pres…

Today we face the most serious disruption to the HIV response in decades. Funding cuts, shrinking civic space and criminalisation of marginalized communities are converging into a perfect storm. Diseases spread fastest where human rights are weakest. This rollback is not accidental—it is political, organised, and it's costing lives. We know how to end AIDS. The question is: will we invest, or retreat? With a strong #HLM2026AIDS Political Declaration and full commitment to the Global AIDS Strategy, ending AIDS by 2030 remains within reach. If we fail, we risk reversing decades of progress. 👇🏾New @UNAIDS report 👇🏾 unaids.org/en/resources/pres…

The #HLM2026AIDS does not only define commitments in the global HIV response, but accountability for the next five years. Watch UNAIDS Executive Director @Winnie_Byanyima highlight the key reasons why the High-Level Meeting on AIDS matters.

#Kenya #Rwanda #Uganda listen and read what it actually costs the state to ignore the epidemic of underage pregnancy, gender based violence and HIV infections in young women and girls! We cannot afford to ignore it!

Falling funding is putting hard-won progress at risk—but the global HIV response cannot afford backsliding. At the @UN #HLM2026AIDS, leaders meet at a decisive moment. Now is the time for renewed commitments & action to end AIDS by 2030. #UnitedToEndAIDS healthpolicy-watch.news/plun…

Early and unintended pregnancy is not only a health issue. It is a development, education, gender equality, and economic issue with consequences that can last a lifetime. When a girl leaves school because of an early pregnancy, the costs extend beyond the individual. They affect her future earnings, health outcomes, opportunities, and the well-being of her family and community. At scale, these losses translate into reduced human capital, lower productivity, and slower economic growth. The Cost of Inaction report reinforces what the evidence has shown for years: investing in sexual and reproductive health and rights is a cost but a smart investment countries can make. By preventing early and unintended pregnancies, reducing HIV infections, and addressing gender-based violence, we can unlock the full potential of Africa's young people and accelerate progress toward sustainable development. The costs of inaction are simply too high. #2gether4SRHR #EndTripleThreat #EndAIDS2030 @unaids @UNAIDSSS @UNAIDSRwanda @UNAIDS_Kenya @UKenya25022

What does early, unintended pregnancy actually cost? Lost education. Lost income. Lost opportunities for girls, for families, for entire economies. The evidence is clear. The solutions exist. Read the Cost of Inaction report 👉🏿bit.ly/4e4Vcog #2gether4SRHR

For communities affected by HIV, structural inequalities are not abstract. They determine people's safety and health. 💬 @richardlusimbo of @UKPC_UG at the Multi-Stakeholder Hearing ahead of the #HLM2026AIDS.

Inequalities drive pandemics, and failure to tackle them leaves the world unsafe. Experts from the Global Council on Inequality, AIDS & Pandemics shared findings on the relationship between inequality and pandemic impact at @ChathamHouse. 🔗 inequalitycouncil.org/global…

As Ebola spreads in Eastern DRC, @UNAIDS is working with governments across the region, DRC, Uganda, Angola, Burundi, to protect #HIV services and the people who deliver them. Strong communities are essential to outbreak response. Read more 👉🏿 unaids.org/en/resources/pres…

Pandemic preparedness cannot wait. The Global Council on Inequality, AIDS and Pandemics joined more than 100 experts in urging world leaders to act. Open letter: live-the-independent-panel.p…

📽️Prevention is key to ending AIDS. This is echoed by Deputy Minister for Women, Children and People Living with Disabilities @msletsike following the roll-out of Lenacapavir in South Africa. ⬇️

This month's High-Level Meeting on HIV/AIDS does not only define commitments in the global HIV response, but accountability for the next five years. Here's why #HLM2026AIDS matters so much. #UnitedToEndAIDS

The #HLM2026AIDS Multi-stakeholder Hearing brought together communities, civil society & partners to help shape the future of the global HIV response. Because ending AIDS will only be possible with communities at the center. Read more 👉🏿unaids.org/en/resources/pres…

Breakthrough HIV innovations are here. But innovation means nothing if people cannot access it. Where you live should never determine whether you survive. unaids.org/en/2026-high-leve… #HLM2026AIDS

At the World Health Assembly (#WHA79) in Geneva, @javierpadillab, Spain's Secretary of State for Health, sets out why, to overcome pandemics, it is vital to tackle the inequalities which drive them.

💉A twice-yearly injection. Simple. Safe. Effective. South Africa just made history with the #Lenacapavir rollout — but science alone won't end AIDS. Equity will. Our joint op-ed with @WHOSouthAfrica and @UNFPASA.
