In 2012, I was diagnosed w/ AIDS and feared imminent death. Today I toured an HIV Cure research laboratory live on TikTok and shared the hope for a cure with our community. And until a cure comes, I’m thankful for the medication that keeps me alive and healthy.

There are posts circulating that the U.S. Gov 'cancelled' World AIDS Day in an email. I've found no credible source thus far and friends at the NIH and PEPFAR have received no such guidance. Let me know if you find anything.

In honor of World AIDS Day, take an inside look at an HIV cure research lab to meet the scientists bringing us closer to ending HIV. Join the live tour on TikTok on December 1: https://t.co/ddgPEX1eKn @HOPEforHIVCure @RaifDerrazi

Why do people stop taking their life-saving HIV medication? Here’s some insight @pluslifemedia

This division in the CDC tasked with preventing the spread of HIV is being eliminated; the impacts will be far reaching @pluslifemedia

This is bad news. This is very bad news. The US government has stopped the funding of PubMed, the most comprehensive database of biomedical literature. Why would you do this? This database it literally a matter of life and death.

FOCUSED policies ensure ending the HIV epidemic broadly @pluslifemedia

Not believing that HIV is the cause of AIDS should be immediately disqualifying to be Health Secretary of the any country
