Health is a human right, not a privilege. Every person, everywhere, should have access to the care they need to live a healthy life.
By fighting HIV, TB strengthening health systems, we can create a healthier and more equitable world, where lifesaving care reaches everyone who needs it.

On this International Human Rights Day, we stand firm: 🏳️‍⚧️ Transgender rights ARE human rights. No exceptions, no compromises. Safety, freedom, and dignity aren’t privileges they’re fundamental rights that belong to every person, everywhere. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

HIV CURE IS REALITY🗣️🗣️

Scientists have made a huge breakthrough using CRISPR gene editing to remove HIV from human immune cells a major step toward a real cure. 🌍💉
For the first time, the virus has been completely eliminated from a patient’s cells, giving hope that HIV could one day be fully cured, not just managed.

Do you know what U=U means?

It stands for Undetectable = Untransmittable.

When a person living with HIV is on effective treatment and their viral load is undetectable, they cannot pass on HIV.

We just completed our General Data Review Meeting (Jan–Aug 2025):
• 733 clients reached
• 3 positives, all linked to care
• Over 300 PrEP renewals & refills

Proud of the resilience of trans women, MSM, sex workers & AGYW in Greater Kampala and beyond. 💜
