After decades of research, science delivered the most effective, preventative HIV drugs the world has ever seen—and the US is throwing up its hands and abandoning efforts to share them with those most in need.

2 years ago, for Women's History Month, Tim Murphy wrote about 15 women who were #HIV activists.

I have a lot of faves from my time leading coverage at TheBody. This piece is one of the top 10 articles I commissioned. Say their names & fight to preserve their work.

Looking for hope & inspiration - check out 🇿🇼 Zimbabwe's journey towards #HIVJustice 👇🏽
Zimbabwe’s #HIVcriminalisation law repeal is a major victory, but the fight for #HIVJustice isn’t over. With funding in crisis, our work is more crucial than ever. Read the latest HIV Justice News on why we must keep pushing for change mailchi.mp/hivjustice.n...

Decriminalising #HIV lessons from 🇿🇼
📌Power of building broad coalitions & continued cooperation - they were ready when opportunities arose
📌Messages were clear - people could understand why HIV criminalisation is not good for preventing HIV or seeking justice
@everyday-advocacy.bsky.social
Human rights activist Immaculate Owomugisha calls on countries to learn from Zimbabwe “Courts, legislators & judiciary need to follow the science, which is clear - #HIV criminalisation does not work. Spend the money on treatment & prevention not putting people in prison.” ✊🏽 @icwglobal.bsky.social
📣 Repealing harmful laws is not easy but it can be done. Inspiring to hear of the role of parliamentary champions like Dr Ruth Labode on Zimbabwe’s successful repeal of its HIV-specific criminal law. 🎦 New documentary @hivjustice.net @iasociety.bsky.social

📢 Today is #HIVIsNotACrime Awareness Day! 🛑⚖️

Across the world, people living with HIV continue to be criminalised, discriminated against, and denied their rights. With shrinking resources and growing political opposition, the fight for justice has never been more urgent.
Strong call & example by MacArthur Foundation "The social sector in the United States is in a time of crisis. The need for a surge in funding is plain. Philanthropy needs to step up. We at MacArthur believe it is time to tap our reserves to get more money flowing." www.macfound.org/press/perspe...

Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up.

I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9
