At the International Candlelight Memorial, we stand in solidarity with people living with HIV. Through our $2.3 billion health partnership & American innovation like lenacapavir—a twice-yearly injection preventing nearly 100% of new HIV infections—we're moving closer to ending AIDS as a public health threat by 2030. Together, we will end HIV. 🇺🇸🇺🇬🕯️

Remarks from Hon. Milly Babalanda; Today, Uganda has made tremendous gains. New HIV infections have significantly declined over the years, AIDS-related deaths have greatly reduced, over 1.4 million Ugandans are accessing life-saving antiretroviral treatment & mother-to-child transmission has drastically reduced. These achievements are not accidental. They are the result of deliberate government commitment, resilient communities, committed health workers, civil society organizations, development partners, religious and cultural institutions and the courage of people living with HIV. #CandlelightMemorialDay #EndAIDS2030UG #UgandaAIDSMarathon
