Happened today at #IAS2025: “What’s New & Next in HIV Prevention” with Mitchell Warren of @HIVpxresearch. More than stats and slides, it was a reminder that behind every innovation is a person who needs it. Choice, equity, and access aren’t optional they’re urgent. @iasociety

“Choice for HIV prevention is not a luxury. It is a right. We must ensure that young women have the choice to protect themselves from HIV” – says Dr. Liliane Mwakyosi @Dareforprogress

Women & girls bear the global burden of #HIV They deserve more prevention options that fits their needs. One is the #DapivirineVaginalRing a long-acting ring that helps reduce HIV risk during vaginal sex. #dareforprogress #EmpoweringTz #FundTheRing #FacilitateChoice

And here we are, we need longer acting HIV prevention tools now more than ever, a mid interruption of prevention services, and many uncertainities, local investment in HIV responce is needed now! #HIVpreventionbychoice #Empoweringtz

@birgitte_vind @liliogreen @Dareforprogress Dr @liliogreen: “I’ve witnessed how we’ve moved on from having only condom as HIV prevention – with the first prevention method just for women; the #DapivirineVaginalRing and long-acting injecting PrEP. This gives me hope that we will finally have choice in HIV prevention.”

And that's a wrap. Thank you all for joining our webinar today in celebration of #InternationalWomensDay Keep the #conversations going and match them with meaningful #actions on #reproductive and #sexualhealth empowerment for women.
