Over the weekend, I attended the pre-conference at the IAS - the International AIDS Society IAC - the International AIDS Conference. My key takeaway was that we need to embrace community-led approaches, including in research. I also presented our work on HIV self-testing in Northern Uganda (doi.org/10.1186/s43058…) #AIDS2024

We are working with different faith communities to help couples where one person has #diabetes work together to manage their health. We've completed the programme 'Diabetes Together' in 1 church & will continue with more places of worship #CommunityHealth #CommunityBasedResearch
