“Action in the face of inaction.” Canada needs to do more to fight rising HIV infections.
We can start with increased funding and removing legislation and barriers that prevent comprehensive sexual health education in schools.
Health is a human right. #cdnpoli

Did you know five people are infected with HIV every day? On #WorldAIDSDay we're reminding Canadians of the UNAIDS goal of zero new HIV acquisition, zero AIDS deaths, and zero stigma and discrimination by 2030.
Together, we can work towards an AIDS free future for all.

Today marks #WorldAIDSDay. I was proud to wear a red ribbon in Parliament this week in honour of those we’ve lost to AIDS & those living with HIV. Together we can stop the stigma and end this epidemic.

The red ribbon is the international symbol of HIV & AIDS awareness. Proud to meet with Ken Miller, Executive Director of @CDNAIDS, to pick up my ribbon to raise awareness for this disease & to reaffirm our government’s commitment to improving treatment & prevention.

On October 24, 2024, I launched a Senate inquiry into the alarming rise of sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections (STBBIs), including HIV/AIDS.
The rates of these infections continue to climb across the country, endangering the lives and health of many Canadians. In my remarks, I highlighted critical issues in prevention, testing, and treatment, as well as the lack of equity in access to medications, particularly for rural and remote communities.
It is imperative to rethink our approaches, particularly through accessible and age-appropriate sexual education programs in all schools across the country. In the face of these public health challenges, let us commit to a future without STBBIs and HIV/AIDS.

What does people-partnered care mean to you?
At #AIDS2024 we hosted a symposium to discuss the importance of creating meaningful collaborations with people living with HIV across the entire HIV care continuum, whether it be the development of medicines or community advocacy.
Canadian AIDS Soc. retweeted
With a simple prick of a finger, Canadians have been able to know their HIV status quickly from the comfort of their homes. But as HIV rates rise across the country, funding for HIV self-testing kits is drying up. @EdwardDjan1 has more. winnipeg.citynews.ca/video/2…

People living with #HIV continue to face stigma & discrimination.
This #ZeroDiscrimination Day, watch 👀 Dr @teozka explain the science behind ZERO risk of HIV transmission when people take effective treatment & have undetectable viral load & why we need to destigmatize HIV. #HealthForAll

What is mRNA technology?
Can it be used to treat or even prevent HIV?

Just do it
The #HIV response requires a bold champion to help avert millions of needlessly lost lives.
I cordially invite you, @JustinTrudeau, to address the global HIV community at the #AIDS2022 closing ceremony to outline your vision for the HIV response at home and around the world.
