Focus on the fourth and equally as important target of 95% of PLWHIV on treatment experiencing good health-related quality of life, including a significant reduction in stigma, is an essential component to achieving our goals. The work continues. ✊🏻

To reach the first ‘95’ goal, I believe more creative, innovative approaches with affected communities at the centre will be key. Additionally, this report does not address the issue of HIV-related stigma and quality of life for people living with HIV.

Despite significant progress since the last audit in 2018, it’s estimated that 10% of people living with HIV remain unaware of their status. Initiatives like community rapid testing, self-testing & home sampling are important approaches to improve choice in knowing your status.

🇮🇪 Ireland achieves 90-99-99 in its progress towards the UNAIDS 95-95-95 targets to end the HIV epidemic by 2030. Excellent HIV treatment audit produced by colleagues from HSE Sexual Health and @hpscireland with data from HIV clinics across the country. https://t.co/Uyym5K2DJS

📢 “Building and maintaining trust in policies, programmes and communication for infectious disease prevention” 🗓️ Friday, 8 November 2024 🕕14-15.30 CET 💻 Online Our webinar offers a thought-provoking discussion on one of the most challenging topics in #PublicHealth.

Really happy to share that collective advocacy, working closely with community & HSE colleagues, has led to interim guidance on #DoxyPEP in Ireland. https://t.co/pWUOl4X0SG We’ve created a community guide to DoxyPEP available at the link above and soon in community spaces. 💟

Great to speak with the HSE Public Health team for Dublin & the Midlands. Our discussion centered on increasing cultural awareness of gbMSM and the role sex plays in our lives so the team are better equipped to handle sensitive conversations had with those who acquire an STI. 🏳️‍🌈

#Mpox is a virus that can be contained if we do the right things at the right time and put all of our minds and all of our efforts together.

During and since the last mpox PHEIC in 2022, diagnostics, vaccines and treatment were not available in the global South. It’s critical that Europe and the US hear this call from African nations and step up. There’s no need to repeat mistakes of the past.

Dublin supports trans rights today, tomorrow and always. @DubTrans

Really glad to see this issue being highlighted in Irish media. People living with HIV should not be forced to travel elsewhere for IVF or other fertility treatments. Unfortunately this issue is deeply rooted in outdated EU law, but not in line with current evidence. Despite the

The IMJ article describes the extensive work that HSE colleagues put into standing up a response to the mpox outbreak. It describes how the gay community organised, informed, supported and successfully controlled the spread of a painful condition. Instead, RTÉ attempted shame?

My first first-author paper has just been published. 🥳✨ In this work we report the impact on sexual health service access for gbMSM during the pandemic. A special thanks to @TC_Witzel for his encouragement & support and all coauthors for their input. https://t.co/bPLduTZ7xd

I'm looking for gay, bi, and other men attracted to men to work with me on a project on HIV PrEP (w/@Chris_Noone_ & @JenMcSharry). 🏳️‍🌈 You can get more info. and express your interest at this link: https://t.co/Ztkp82Cy9z

An honour to be invited to speak @WHO meeting on #CommunityProtection in Health Emergencies meeting today. I joined colleagues from across the globe to discuss the importance of putting affected communities at the center of decisions and actions aimed at protecting their health.

Hi Everyone! I would so appreciate your help participating, identifying other key informants, and sharing information (retweet) for this new research project related to living with HIV and becoming a parent in Ireland !

Yesterday our colleagues, volunteers and friends took to the streets and marched in solidarity. We #StandTogether against racism, the far right and war 🍉✊🏻 Discrimination and hate have no place in Ireland. #DiversityNotDivision
