Dear @DrTedros, words can not express how excited we are about your response. We too are convinced that the world needs to update its mind on #HIV and look forward to your answer. Together let’s change the name. Let’s end the stigma. Forever.
Wholeheartedly agree on the need to intensify efforts around HIV. My thanks for the letter, which I will read with interest. #WorldAIDSDay

Even if you test HIV positive - life can go on as positively as before - taking ART (pill a day) can lead to Undetectability (low levels of virus) which means Uninfectiousness UequalsU ! @DTHF_SA

It's not medicine that's holding us back. We need to update the world on #HIV. During #UNGA, we're advocating to make #HIV a priority again. It's not over yet. Help us #UpdateHIV! @ohhhfoundation @YAA_intl

The young people of @YAA_intl wrote an open letter to the head of WHO to call for changing the name 'HIV', to change the stigma. @DrTedros responded. All this through @Twitter. How can this medium die? It shouldn't. #worldAIDSday2022

The programs of our initiative @YAA_intl thus “focus on bridging that gap through advocacy and health literacy programs that seek to capacitate young women to end the #stigma against their sexuality, and to take charge of their #sexualhealth." - @bongioar (2/3)

We must never forget the pain and despair on seeing multitudes of young people die of an incurable disease whilst life prolonging treatment was available in richer countries in the north - PEPFAR helped to right that wrong and save millions @PEPFAR @IngridKatzMD @JRatevosian
Twenty years ago today - @GeorgeWBushJr44 announced the creation of one of the boldest global health endeavors ever undertaken by the US Govt. It is impossible to overstate the impact that @PEPFAR has had on the global HIV/AIDS Pandemic - saving over 25 million lives. 1/2

Today is #EducationDay! In 2018, 34 million secondary school-aged #girls in Africa did not have access to secondary education and there is still a huge gap between #sexualeducation and adolescent women, who are most vulnerable and at risk of #HIVinfection! (1/3)

Ever heard of #PrEP#PrEP (Pre-exposure prophylaxis) is a #safersex method and a real game changer in the prevention of #HIV. #PrEP is taken by people who are not living with HIV and dramatically reduces the risk of #HIVinfection! Learn more on #PrEP in today’s #FAQFacts 👇🏻

“There is still a gap between medical interventions and young people actually using them. And what causes this gap in my opinion is the #stigma and also the unwillingness of services to provide youth friendly services when it comes to sexual health.” #UpdateHIV #youthagainstaids
