The Trump regime isn't a presidential administration--it's a heist operation.

The most corrupt president in American history and it's not even close.

Today December 1st is #WorldAIDSDay.
I remember the millions who have died.
I celebrate the transformative progress that has been made.
I resolve as an HIV researcher and advocate to keep up the fight to end the HIV epidemic.
Do you know you status?
Get tested. Get treated. Get on PrEP.

Today is #WorldAIDSDay

With Lenacapavir or LEN, a new drug WHO recommends to protect people at risk of #HIV instead of taking daily pills, people can now get injections every 6 months.

At the time where funding for HIV is limited, this new drug could mean fewer new infections & more lives saved.

As always on 1 December, I am wearing my ribbon

Yet unbelievably, we are now in a place where we could end new HIV transmissions by 2030

Everyone: get tested. Let’s end it.

Phew good job Farage doesn’t still have a big ❓ over him re whether he dodged £40K in Stamp Duty

OR over his girlfriend being embroiled in a Corruption investigation in Brussels

OR over his #Racism not just at school but also as leader of UKIP allegedly using the N word

But hey.. about Reeves 🙄🤦🏼‍♂️
I must have missed the wall-to-wall coverage of demands for an investigation into Nigel Farage's lies about being a racist

Or about whether he knew Nathan Gill

Or about who bought his house in Frinton
