The field of #HIV research has changed drastically in the past 40 years. In that time, we’ve evolved from helping people living with HIV struggle to survive to seeing them thrive. And we continue to push the bounds of HIV research. Meet Rebeca, one of our researchers working daily on the response to HIV, and hear more about what she thinks is next in the space. https://msd.gl/3Olcgug

This #WorldAidsDay, we call on each other to unite for a stronger future. Early #HIV diagnosis is a crucial step in the fight against AIDS. Yet, millions remain undiagnosed. By working together we can sustain and accelerate our shared goal of ending the epidemic in our lifetime. Let's commit to: • Community Empowerment: Supporting community-led initiatives to address HIV/AIDS. • Increased Testing: Encouraging regular HIV testing to promote early diagnosis. • Reduced Stigma: Challenging misconceptions and promoting empathy and understanding. • Sustainable Funding: Advocating for continued investment in HIV prevention, treatment, and care. Let's join in the fight against HIV/AIDS. Get tested, get treated, and stay informed. #CollectiveAction #EndAIDS #KnowYourStatus

Today on National HIV Vaccine Awareness Day, let’s recognize the dedication and innovation of the scientific community in advancing breakthroughs in HIV prevention and treatment. While we've made positive strides with the availability of PrEP, we can't stop there. An HIV vaccine would be a transformative tool in our fight to end the epidemic. In the meantime, we will stay committed in our fight to ensure access to preventative services and PrEP, as well as work to repeal all HIV criminalization laws and ensure legal protections against discrimination to #EndTheStigma.

When integrated testing can help better manage people living with HIV ... In a world where almost half of the world population lacks access to basic testing, thriving in #HIV care requires integrated strategies that #PutPeopleFirst.

Between 2010 and 2022, the number of HIV-positive patients receiving treatment has risen by 200%. Africa, the Western Pacific, and the Eastern Mediterranean have seen some of the biggest increases. What's behind this increase? Advances in medical understanding and treatment, combined with increasing access to life-saving care and education about treatment options have driven this increase. This trend is likely to continue. By working to improve access and quality of care, healthcare leaders can improve their organisation's services and position themselves as leaders in HIV care. This is also an opportunity to make a real difference to people's lives and transform outcomes for HIV-positive patients. Removing the stigma around HIV care will be crucial for achieving this. Zooming out, this trend is already transforming lives and will continue to do so over the next decade. Regions with high incidences of HIV will benefit the most. However, the entire globe will benefit from increasing HIV treatment and could make meaningful progress towards preventing AIDS entirely in the long term. #HIV #Healthcare #Accessibility #HIVTreatment

Here are four ways YOU can help stop the stigma against #HIV. Talk about prevention. Talking about prevention of HIV can normalize and remove the stigma from HIV. It helps promote wellness and safe practices. Talk about treatment of HIV. Educate others that people can still live relatively normal lives when treated early and properly. People being treated and with a low viral count can not transmit HIV through sex. Support and be respectful of those who have HIV. Do not normalize disrespect or unfair treatment of those who are living with HIV. When talking about HIV or those who have HIV, use respectful informed language. Having a dialogue is important, so use respectful words when doing so. Have a dialogue about HIV and how to get tested.

After medicines are available to the public, real-world evidence (RWE) provides critical feedback to help us learn more about how those medicines are received. 🌍 RWE provides much-needed insight on people living with HIV. At ViiV Healthcare – the only global company 100% dedicated to HIV – this feedback is vital to understanding preferences, what matters most when it comes to care, and how we can best serve diverse patient groups. This information will further advance and improve #HIV care and puts us one step closer to meeting our mission to leave no person living with HIV behind. Seeing so much interest in RWE at #AIDS2024 shows just how much everyone wants to #PutPeopleFirst and truly understand what matters most to the HIV community as we continue our fight to #EndTheEpidemic once and for all. #WeWontStop 👉 Learn more about ViiV Healthcare and its commitment to ending HIV: https://lnkd.in/gNma_YyN
