Our latest data shows that 3 out of 4 adults living with HIV have a suppressed viral load. Why is this good news? People with a suppressed viral load have a near-zero risk of transmitting HIV to their sexual partners! Spread this message 📢

Salient warning ⤵️⤵️ from Dr. Drummond. If that rumour is true it will be catastrophic.
Indeed, good news but if the rumours are true, and the @fordnation government plans on April 1st of ending financial support for rural ER staffing then you will probably end up with more closed ERs than you ever thought possible.

👍👍❤️ “This exhibit focuses on gay HIV-positive sex worker activist Daniel Charles Cockerline (1960-1995), who was involved in the founding of numerous sex workers’ rights organizations in Toronto, Ontario, from the early 1980s to the mid-1990s.” https://t.co/RTREizvoGl

Emergency departments had a record no. of closures last yr, even worse than the 1,199 closures of emerg departments, urgent care centres & more in 2023. Before 2018 when the Ford govt took power, emerg department closures were almost unheard of. https://t.co/r4TfV635S0

This is one of the images deleted from the @CDCgov historical archive, by the way. I downloaded it this morning and can't access it anymore. We are ready to repeat the past.
⚠️CDC WEBSITES DELETED—Multiple CDC websites and datasets related to HIV, LGBTQ people, youth health behaviors and more have been removed after the agency was directed to comply with an executive order from President Trump by 5pm deadline. Wildest is taking down even HIV pages!
