Henry Chan+FollowHow LOTUS Is Changing HIV SupportImagine finding out your whole life is about to change—then turning that pain into a movement. That’s what Freda Jones did after her HIV diagnosis. She saw a gap for Black women in support groups and started LOTUS, a peer-led group that’s now 300+ strong and nationwide. These groups aren’t just about sharing—they’re about thriving, fighting stigma, and helping each other make sense of treatment. With funding cuts looming, community-led support is more crucial than ever. LOTUS is proof: together, we rise. #News #HIVAwareness #PeerSupport289Share
Kevin Craig+FollowHIV Care Is Helping Patients Age Like BossesDid you know some HIV patients are now living well into their 60s and beyond? Thanks to game-changing treatments, Harris Health’s Thomas Street clinic is seeing more long-term survivors than ever—and they’re leveling up care to meet the needs of an aging HIV community. From social support to specialized geriatric care, it’s all about helping patients thrive, not just survive. The clinic that once fought to save lives is now helping people live their best golden years! #Health #BodyHealth #HIVAwareness20Share
rmartinFollowingWhy We Still Need an HIV CureHIV meds and PrEP are game-changers—people with HIV can live almost as long as anyone else, and transmission can be stopped. But here’s the catch: not everyone can get these drugs, especially in places with shaky healthcare or high costs. Plus, the few people “cured” had rare bone marrow transplants—not exactly an everyday fix. That’s why scientists are still pouring millions into finding a real, scalable cure. Until then, access and prevention are everything! #HIVAwareness #HIVCure #HealthEquity #Health #BodyHealth1428Share
Timothy Anguilud+Followhomophobic people and their thoughts.HIV doesn't only Affect men that are gay... HIV can affect a straight a man, women, child, and or animals. it's not an exclusive virus to the Lgbtqia+ community. Of course the people that say, It's because of Gay men, that this virus exists, F that. I'm tired of all the rants and rambling because I live with HIV and I'm gay. #HIVAWARENESS #LGBTQIA18141Share
tuckerariel+FollowFamily Drama Impacts HIV Meds?!Who knew family vibes could make or break HIV treatment for teens? Turns out, how supportive (or not) your fam is, plus your mental health, can totally affect whether you stick to your meds. Some studies even tried family therapy and daily check-ins—results were mixed, but more support usually meant better adherence. Bottom line: If you want teens to stay on their HIV meds, you can’t ignore what’s happening at home! #HIVAwareness #FamilyMatters #MentalHealth #YouthHealth #ARTadherence #Health130Share
Jacqueline Ray+FollowCDC’s HIV Data Drama: Millions Wasted?Imagine spending years collecting life-saving HIV data, only for it to vanish into a black hole because of sudden CDC layoffs. Researchers say two massive HIV projects are now on pause, risking millions in wasted taxpayer dollars and leaving health officials flying blind. The kicker? All that info from thousands of people might never see the light of day, making it harder to fight HIV and help those most at risk. What a mess! #HIVAwareness #PublicHealth #CDC #Health #BodyHealth306Share
Charles Christensen+FollowYoung Adults Are All About HIV Prevention NowDid you know 8x more young adults are taking HIV prevention meds than just a few years ago? PrEP use among 18-25-year-olds has skyrocketed, but most users are still men, and a lot of folks aren’t sticking with it for long. The meds are super effective—99% if taken right! But with insurance rules possibly changing soon, access could get tricky. Are we reaching the people who need it most? #HIVAwareness #PrEP #HealthNews #Health31Share
xwest+FollowHow Scientists Are Tracking HIV OutbreaksDid you know scientists can now spot HIV outbreaks by analyzing the virus’s genetic code? Since 2016, health departments across the US have been using molecular cluster detection to find where HIV is spreading fastest and where care is falling short. This tech helps them quickly identify and respond to new clusters—meaning more people get the help they need, faster. It’s a game-changer for stopping HIV in its tracks! #HIVAwareness #PublicHealth #ScienceNews #EpidemicResponse #HealthInnovation #Health725Share
Donald Jones DDS+FollowCould This Be a Game-Changer for HIV?Scientists just tested a new bispecific T-cell engager (think: a smart immune booster) that helps the body hunt down HIV-infected cells—even after stopping regular meds. In a small study, 20% of people kept the virus under control, way better than the usual 5%. It’s not a cure yet, but it’s a big step toward letting people with HIV stay healthy without daily pills. Imagine a future where you don’t need lifelong treatment! #HIVResearch #MedicalBreakthrough #ScienceNews #HIVAwareness #Health527Share
Ryan Cunningham+FollowWomen Left Out of HIV Care?Did you know women in the UK are being left behind in HIV care? Gilead and Sophia Forum just dropped a report showing that while women make up nearly half of new HIV cases, they’re barely getting access to prevention meds or timely testing. The campaign’s calling out the government for ignoring women’s needs and pushing for five big changes—like better research, more awareness, and real support for women living with HIV. Love the bold red campaign pics, too! #HIVAwareness #GenderEquality #EndTheStigma #WomenAndHIV #HealthEquity #Health268Share
