Grateful for a year shaped by conversation and care.

U=U means that when someone living with HIV is on treatment and undetectable, HIV cannot be passed on sexually. Settled science. Shared clearly, it builds trust. And trust is where change begins.

This year clarified the value of care, context, and restraint.
I wrote a reflection on voice, boundaries, U=U, and staying grounded in HIV work.

The HIV response in Canada too often rewards compliance over creativity.
Innovation is not disruption. It is how knowledge becomes impact.

If you’re talking about HIV and not including U=U, you’re doing it wrong.

U=U is the truth that ends stigma and defines the HIV response today. Treatment keeps us alive and prevents HIV. Anything less leaves the story incomplete.

Headlines saying CRISPR ends HIV permanently are misleading. Trials show promise but HIV still returns when treatment stops. Hope is real, but evidence matters. I unpack this in my new Substack.
