On Tuesday our CEO Mike Podmore was honoured to meet with Her Excellency  Monica Chakwera , the First Lady  of the Republic of Malawi, to discuss the challenges remaining in addressing #HIV in Malawi

Our CEO Mike Podmore was in Geneva this week at the World Health Assembly and was pleased to meet with Hon Khumbize Kandodo Chiponda MP , Minister of Health for Malawi to discuss global health priorities.

“The most marginalised and discriminated against must be at the table where health decisions are made” Thank you Mike Podmore, CEO STOPAIDS to strengthen are common call to the UNITE Parliamentarians Network for Global Health in ensuring meaningful #SocialParticipation in #UHC 👏 #UNITESummit

STOPAIDS welcomes the announcement that Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office will join South Africa as a co-host of the The Global Fund replenishment The The Global Fund partnership is a proven model for delivering impact & a strong UK commitment will be key to advancing the HIV response: stopaids.org.uk/2025/02/18/glo…

UK activists joined in solidarity with colleagues from Zambia, Nigeria and other affected countries. They said: "We need a long term strategy to end reliance of the world’s poorest on these rich nations. But right now, unless these decisions are reversed lives will be lost"

We stand in solidarity with activists mobilising outside of Parliament and fighting the deadly cuts to UK aid. The government has other means to increase its revenues, rather than stripping the UK's contribution to saving lives and building a safer world for all.

Today I am at a reception to mark #WorldTBDay2025 - Thx Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office Minister Catherine West and South Africa deputy High Commissioner Dineo Mathlako for expressing commitment to the The Global Fund and to make the replenishment a success together. SA are increasing pledge by 25%

Inequality is rising & the UK government is cutting vital public services. Enough is enough. 📢On the eve of the budget, we went out with 20 charities & trade unions, and hundreds of you, to demand that Chancellor Rachel Reeves tax the super-rich, instead of cutting welfare.

Will FfD4 just repeat the errors of the past and remain exclusive and elitist? The future must be inclusive decision-making with civil society and communities! #CommunitiesAreExperts #InclusiveDecisionMaking #AllEyesOnSeville

Looking forward to this important conversation on what we need to do to end AIDS as a public health threat globally and how the UK can lead.

We’re not safe until we’re all safe. This week, the Conservatives outlined plans to cut the UK’s ODA should they win the next election. This would result millions of unnecessary deaths, many from the world’s most life-threatening diseases. Full response ➡️bit.ly/4mSE7jB

This afternoon at #CPC25, our panel “No One Left Behind: Funding the Final Fight to End HIV by 2030” — hosted with LGBT+ Conservatives — brought together parliamentarians, campaigners and advocates to reflect on how the UK can finish what it started: ending HIV for good. 🧵

.Mike Podmore, CEO of STOPAIDS, spoke candidly about how recent aid cuts have hit the global HIV response hard, warning that years of progress could be lost without renewed commitment from the UK and its allies. The science is ready, it’s the political will that must catch

Melanie Scagliarini underlined that resilient healthcare systems are the backbone of HIV prevention — a lesson made painfully clear during COVID-19. She stressed that continued ODA cuts will make the 2030 goal impossible to reach.

The message was clear: this isn’t just about numbers or funding targets, it’s about real lives right now, and in the future. Britain has been a world leader in the fight against HIV. With courage, compassion and consistency, it still can be. #CPC25 LGBT+ Conservatives STOPAIDS

UNAIDS Executive Director Winnie Byanyima urged parliamentarians, from global north and south, to use their legislative, budgetary, and representative power to drive progress in global health and protect human rights— especially for people living with or at risk of HIV. #WHS2025
