You are spot on @DrTedros ! Thk you for your inspiring message. @UNAIDS

“I feel a huge sense of urgency. Time is not on our side. In the last 5 minutes we’ve lost another precious life, and we must address this urgently.” - Dr. @LindaGailBekker #AIDS2022

“We can stop this—because we know what works. Our “blueprint for action” is four-fold: 1.Emphasise role modelling and peer support 2.Focus on community involvement 3.Make it easy 4.Educate, educate, educate” -Limpho Nteko tells delegates at #AIDS2022

Executive Director at @UNAIDS @Winnie_Byanyima makes it clear: Ending aids in children is not only achievable, it’s our moral duty. And we will do it. #AIDS2022

Access to life-saving prevention tools, testing & treatment – whether for #HIV, #COVID19 or #monkeypox – too often relies on chance: your birthplace, skin colour, gender, how much you earn. Health shouldn't be a privilege, it's a human right. #AIDS2022

I agree with @LazenyaR that we'll continue to waste money & see worsening health inequalities if we do not include women of colour in decision-making & programme design. This is a crucial step toward decolonising global health & redressing centuries of racist ideology. #AIDS2022

"Systemic racism is a global emergency" - Winnie Byanyima, UNAIDS #AIDS2022

One of my favourite quotes of Dr Fauci’s address. We must move towards more equitable access to care for children and youth living with HIV worldwide.

Just over 50% of children with HIV accessed treatment in 2021 compared to 81% of pregnant women. We must accelerate progress. @unicef_aids @UNAIDS @AIDS2022 @childrenandHIV #AIDS2022

So many participants - youth organizers, speakers, scholarship winners, denied the chance to participate and present their work at #HIVPed #AIDS2022 🇨🇦 - You can be better than this. cbc.ca/news/canada/mo…

This is so very disappointing. And then the government officials no-showed at the opening. It is embarrassing.

The inimitable @DrMelanieMurray is delivering an incredible presentation about community engagement in healthy aging research from the #BCC3 study at #AIDS2022 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 @HIV_HEAR_me

Is there a single other scientific meeting that welcomes protestors during the opening ceremony with a standing ovation? Welcome to #AIDS2022, a privilege to be here and for #Montreal to host this extraordinary group.

After 3 long years, so wonderful to see @CPARG_PED and all of our international colleagues who made it here in person at #HIVPeds here in Montreal, to focus on #HIV #Pediatrics, with local co-chair with @jasonbrophy73 CPARG 🇨🇦 chair extraordinaire.

In no way surprising. We keep kids safe by keeping community spread low. How do we do that? #Vaccination combined with public health measures. #BacktoSchool2021 #KidsMatter #Delta #CovidIsNotOver @CanPaedSociety @CMA_Docs

The kids are not alright: Kaiser Permanente Northern CA found that compared with 2019, during the fall of 2020, suicide-related ER visits increased by 129% among 5- to 17-year-olds with no history of outpatient mental health or suicide encounters. jamanetwork.com/journals/jamap…

It's very easy for people in BC to be cynical about #COVIDBC and how our province has done. It's really worth reminding that out of *all* North American jurisdictions >1M pop, BC has done best. #1 in cases and deaths The future is never guaranteed, but perspective: BC did well.

“A renewed commitment + concrete steps are needed by non-Indigenous leaders & allies to support decolonising work so that it does not fall solely upon First Nations, Inuit + Métis peoples.” Important new piece @TheLancet by @RicharLisa @drandrewb thelancet.com/journals/lance…
