Let’s all do our part to get more people living with HIV in care. Here’s what you can do to help: ✅ Get tested and get on treatment, if you’re positive ✅ Encourage everyone you know to do the same ✅ Share information and resources ✅ Don’t discriminate

UNAIDS urges Caribbean to overcome disruption to transform AIDS response

#WorldAIDSDay is a moment to remember those we have lost, and to renew our commitment to the HIV response and to #endAIDS. Nearly a quarter of the world's 40+ million people living with HIV are not on treatment. Yet, in the hardest of circumstances, I have seen this year,

In a year marked by challenges, from Hurricane Melissa’s impact to ongoing health inequities, our commitment has never been stronger. Today, we honour lives lost, celebrate progress made, and recommit to a Caribbean free of stigma and discrimination. #WorldAIDSDay2025

Let’s keep fighting for access, justice, and health for all. End the stigma. End the inequity. End AIDS. #WorldAIDSDay2025

The Caribbean must strengthen its push towards ensuring 95% of people living with HIV know their status, are on treatment and virally suppressed, reach 90% of people at risk of becoming HIV positive with prevention interventions, and reduce discrimination to below 10%.

This World AIDS Day, we rise above disruption and accelerate the transformation needed to end AIDS for all. 📷 #WorldAIDSDay2025

By embracing resilience, innovation, and shared responsibility, we can protect our gains, close the gaps that remain, and move with purpose toward ending AIDS by 2030, ensuring every person in the Caribbean can live with dignity, safety, and hope, no matter the storm. #WAD2025

This World AIDS Day, observed on December 1, each year, as we remember the lives lost and celebrate the resilience of our people, the Caribbean must make a clear choice: transformation over retreat, solidarity over neglect, and real action over promises. #WorldAIDSDay2025

The Caribbean must strengthen its push towards ensuring 95% of people living with HIV know their status, are on treatment and virally suppressed, reach 90% of people at risk of becoming HIV positive with prevention interventions, and reduce discrimination to below 10%.

I was speaking with a good friend recently as we reflected on World AIDS Day 2025 and its theme: "overcoming disruption, transforming the AIDS response" . Our conversation turned to the Lancet editorial on the UN80 recommendation to sunset UNAIDS [The clock is ticking for UNAIDS

➡️Over 40M people are living with HIV globally​ ➡️10M people are waiting for HIV treatment​ ➡️1.3M people acquired HIV in 2024​ This can and must change!​ Leaders must reaffirm their commitment to end AIDS and support countries & communities through this challenging time.

My Op-Ed, “Transforming the AIDS Response to Build Resilience and Hope in the Caribbean,” reflects on this World AIDS Day and what it means for our region and our shared future. As we honour the more than 40 million heroes we have lost globally over the decades and stand with

🚨We are now just hours from #HurricaneMelissa making landfall in #Jamaica with devastating impact. It is intensifying rapidly, and the sense of urgency on the ground is palpable. See what our @WFP colleague Stephanie has to say on the ground in Kingston. #SavingLives

Excellent priority-setting meeting for the Caribbean with our Regional Director, Luisa Cabal, and the @UNAIDSLac and @UNAIDSCaribbean teams. In a context of limited financial resources and footprints, our focus remains clear and strategic. We will continue to prioritize: 1️⃣ HIV

Congratulations Honey Bun Ltd, this year's winner of the HIV Inclusivity Champion Award which is proudly sponsored by @UNAIDS and @theJMEA_ We hope you continue being a trailblazer for ending HIV-related discrimination. We look forward to the continued partnership with you.

It costs nothing to be compassionate to people living with HiV. Jaemar Johnson of the @themohwgovjm encourage employees at HoneyBun to be a part of the solution. Thanks to @theJMEA_ for organizing this educational session to end HIV-related stigma and discrimination.

Ending AIDS in the Caribbean is possible but only if we claim ownership of the response. Let this be the region’s own legacy: an HIV response built to last and led by Caribbean people, funded by Caribbean budgets, guided by Caribbean communities. https://t.co/Hyz3KKJnG9

Sharing some snaps from this week's @UNAIDS senior management retreat. We were joined by Regional Directors, Practice Directors, and a number of leads from the Global Centre. We met at a time of profound change for UNAIDS and for the global HIV response, as well as for the UN

Strategic investments in health are not just about saving lives — they are a catalyst for sustainable development. If we want a healthier, more sustainable future, integration must start now — at the front line of care, where it matters most. #SDGs #SDG3 https://t.co/UF2Ajy7sIe

Integration of services for HIV and non-communicable diseases is our surest pathway to sustainability of the HIV response and ensuring good health and well-being for people living with HIV as part of universal health coverage.
