.@Winnie_Byanyima: the investment in ending AIDS is the same investment that protects us from other pandemics.

We are not on track, but we certainly can be - @ProfAdeeba. Learn how: indanger.unaids.org

Progress in preventing new infections is faltering - @Winnie_Byanyima. Though the #Caribbean has falling #HIV infections, the rate of decline is too slow and our gains are under threat. Learn more: indanger.unaids.org

We agree with @JNkengasong of @PEPFAR: in the #HIV response, data is our rudder. In the #Caribbean the new numbers suggest that we must invest more in combination prevention for young people and key populations. Find out why: indanger.unaids.org

Slowness in decision-making means lives lost - @AndriyKlepikov. Last year there was an AIDS-related death every minute, including 5700 in the #Caribbean. Learn what we must do to save more lives: indanger.unaids.org

People living with #HIV face a higher #COVID19 risk. To stay safe, get vaccinated and stick to your antiretroviral treatment. #EndAIDSCaribbean #TrueOrFalse

#COVID isn't over. And neither are the myths about COVID vaccines. For people living with #HIV, community organizations and peers are among the trusted sources for accurate information. Keep spreading the word! #EndPandemics #EndAIDSCaribbean #TrueOrFalse

Slurs. Insults. Bullying. Even attacks. What the communities behind 🇦🇬Antigua & Barbuda’s decriminalization win face - and overcome. ✊🏾 via @UNAIDSCaribbean unaids.org/en/resources/p…

Last week Antigua and Barbuda’s High Court struck down laws criminalizing sexual acts between consenting, adult, same sex partners. Find out about the communities who brought the case to court 👇🏾

UNAIDS welcomes the repeal of laws that criminalise and discriminate against LGBT people in Antigua and Barbuda. We congratulate the courageous litigants, civil society organizations and their legal team who have earned this landmark win for equality! bit.ly/3al9MuX

We can end the AIDS epidemic by 2030. But we can only do it together.

In 2020 1 of every 5 diagnosed people living with #HIV in the #Caribbean weren't on treatment. We have to spread the word far and wide: treatment and care are available for you to live... and live well. #EndAIDSCaribbean #TrueOrFalse

By transitioning to #TLD for first line #HIV treatment in the #Caribbean we can increase adherence and achieve better outcomes. #EndAIDSCaribbean #TrueOrFalse

Early and successful #HIV treatment keeps people alive and well. It also prevents them from transmitting the virus to others. #TreatmentAsPrevention #EndAIDSCaribbean #TrueOrFalse

#PrEP is a game-changer. To speed up the reduction in new infections, #Caribbean countries should make this and other prevention innovations available to all who need them. #EndAIDSCaribbean #TrueOrFalse

Post-exposure prophylaxis or PEP should be offered to everyone who experiences rape to prevent HIV transmission. Let's ensure every #Caribbean sexual assault survivor has easy and quick access. #GBV #endAIDSCaribbean #TrueOrFalse
