Being on a recent Seattle #HIVWomen conference panel including @DrNnekaNwokolo @vanessa_apea @o_g_ford discussing reframing conversations around HIV risk for black women was phenomenal - but I was later asked why not ALL women? Vanessa & I discussed this on #HEALTHandPOWER

One of the highlights of #HIVWomen Workshop in Seattle was chance to hang out with so many amazing people from around the world, working to address inequities experienced by women with HIV. 😍

We have said this before... Data from Africa is data and needs to be used for what it is. It works and has worked and this should be trusted already. It's not less than data...

Dawn Averitt reminds everyone at #CROI2023 New Investigators Workshop what community engagement means and why it is critically important not only in HIV but in any health-related issue.

Fierce longtime advocate, friend & @thewellproject founder Dawn Averitt promises a "hug" of a talk among this morning's lectures - it is warm, but firm! Essential to *meaningfully* engage community at EVERY step of the research process #CROI2023

What do we do with providers who are so resistant around #breastfeeding & #HIV? If Black maternal/infant mortality is so high & breastfeeding could help w/ that, why are they just considering this <1% possibility of transmission? @CiCi_HIV #hivwomen

Such a moment! Dr Gail Ashford naming harm of previous wack US infant feeding & #HIV guidelines globally - longtime good outcomes in their clinic in S. Africa, where breastfeeding has been in guidelines since 2010 - but no data capturers & "if we did, would you listen?" #HIVWomen
