You can’t talk about HIV without talking about TB. As we mark #WorldTBDay, let’s remember that TB prevention, treatment & management must be prioritized alongside ART. With donor funding cuts threatening progress, we must unite, invest & commit to #EndTB. Cc: Stop TB Partnership

TB is fully treatable, yet with the lack of funding, the entire program, including research, diagnostics & successful treatment, has ceased. Not only is this leading to a rise in new TB cases & lost to follow-up. Read OUR statement: icwea.org/wp-content/upl… #WorldTBDay | #EndTB

"We must address the reality that #HIVPrevention is not being prioritized. As we sit here at the end of March with no funding for prevention, urgent questions arise: What are we saying? What sh'd we be doing? How sh'd we communicate these priorities?" – Lillian Mworeko at the meeting.

"We are about to repeat history. Young p'ple will come back telling stories of living with HIV—because we failed to act." – Lillian Mworeko, ICWEA ED If this is truly a crisis, where is the urgency? Who is ensuring young p'ple stay in care? We must act NOW, she adds. #HIVPrevention

This week's check is that there raising cases of Intimate Partner Violence among people living with HIV especially among discordant couples due to the effects of funding termination on PEP and PrEP. How prepared are we as a nation, MOH to tackle this barrier?? #WeThrive #EndVAWG

Why is it that when HIV services are disrupted, girls and young women are the first to suffer? Last year, adolescent girls were twice as likely to contract HIV as boys. I AM calling for an end to gender inequality and GBV to stop HIV transmission. #IAM
