HIV is not just a virus -- it is a mirror of how we treat one another. Stigma, silence, and political neglect have cost lives. Evidence-based care, human rights, and community leadership save them. 🌍

This is a sad reminder that even after a child recovers from measles, they are not yet out of the woods — which is why it’s so important to make sure every child is protected through vaccination.
