There is nothing more punk rock in the world than empathy and kindness.

You will never convince me otherwise.

#IAS2025

In a session talking about the lessons we can learn from the #HIV response, I asked the Kenyan MP on the panel and the delegation of Kenyan MPs in the room what they are doing about the stigma faced by Key Populations. He said that there is no discrimination for Key Populations. Not true.

Advocates reflect Rosemary Mburu's wise words at #IAS2025.
“The journey to ending the pandemic is not paved with policy papers, scientific pubs & procurement plans. It’s carried on the backs of communities, & it needs to be led by communities…Community Action is what gives science its soul.”

Trans lives matter!

You will not erase them from the AIDS response.

Shame!

We must be led by communities. Locally and internationally. Let is invest in communities.

Elizabeth Anne Bukusi on innovation was brilliant. Centre people for whom this must work for it to be meaningful.

Innovation: If you need treatment, can you get it in a way that works for you?

Partnerships can actually put people at the centre.

Somehow, resources are only limited when it comes to issues of health! we need to find ways to make the resources that we have go further. Make sure those who really need it can get it and use it.

Do partnerships only matter for those who have the monitory value? Do people matter?

Speaking about innovation. A pill container that rattles does not work.

This is said as my pill container rattles in my bag! 😂

A majority of us are here because somebody had sex.

People need to make choices about the sex they want.
