UVA about to enter their Reputation era and I am so here for it ! 🐍 Painful way to end the season, but I will always root for the Hoos and CTB. Thankful for Reece Beekman & the rest of the seniors and hopeful about the future of the team, even if it hurts in the meantime 🧡💙

PEPFAR is one of the most successful global health programs ever. It provides HIV treatment for over 20 million people. And now it faces a funding delay of up to 6 months. Without access to treatment, HIV can rebound in less than a month. This is self-defeating stupidity.
