I agree, there is a cloud around #CROI2025 this year 😞 The optimism felt last year particularly in prevention successes have been dampened. The cuts to USAID, and the huge implications on funding PEPFAR are so far reaching. #IDSky #HIVSky #publicHealthSky @docdelrio.bsky.social

For people of my generation, it's incredible to be so close to preventing ALL new HIV infections by 2030. 💊 ⁠HIV treatment today is typically one tablet a day, with no noticeable side effects for most people 🧓⁠ ⁠HIV+ people on treatment now have just as long a life-expectancy as non-HIV+ people

Just one finger prick is all it takes to check your #HIV status. It's that simple. Once tested you can explore options to protect yourself from HIV, or start life saving treatment that means you cannot pass the virus on. Either way, it all starts with a test. #GetTested this #HIVTestingWeek
