William Vasquez+FollowNigeria Steps Up With DIY Test KitsBig news: After the US slashed funding for HIV and malaria aid, a Nigerian company, Codix Bio, is stepping in to fill the gap. They’re about to roll out millions of locally-made test kits, aiming to keep crucial health programs running. With support from the WHO and a South Korean partner, they’re ready to supply Nigeria—and maybe even the rest of Africa. Local solutions for local problems? Love to see it! #Nigeria #HealthInnovation #HIV #Health #BodyHealth100Share
Emily Delgado+FollowUNAIDS Cuts Staff After Major Funding LossWhoa, UNAIDS is slashing its workforce by over half because big donors like the US are pulling funding. They’re moving jobs to cheaper cities and warning that years of progress in fighting HIV could be undone. Experts say millions more could die or get infected if support isn’t restored soon. It’s a massive shakeup for global health efforts—let’s hope this wake-up call leads to smarter, more efficient aid! #UNAIDS #HIV #GlobalHealth #FundingCuts #HealthCrisis #Safety134389Share
Benjamin Jackson+FollowWould You Try At-Home HPV Tests?Cervical cancer is way more common in women with HIV, but a new Danish study found that half of eligible women were down to try an at-home HPV self-sampling kit. The best part? 80% actually sent their samples back! But here’s the catch: even when the test came back positive, less than half followed up for more care. Self-sampling could be a game-changer, but getting people to stick with the process is still a big hurdle. #WomensHealth #HPV #HIV #CervicalCancer #HealthInnovation #Health80Share
