We’re back on Monday! 🎉
Can you believe it? Me and @susancolehaley will be back for a 4th season of #aidsmapCHAT on Mon 24th May at 6pm (GMT). Tune in for #HIV / COVID news, international guests, gossip, tears and laughter. Here’s me talking about what aidsmapCHAT means to me.

Utterly phenomenal @DazonDiallo from @SisterLoveInc, on #aidsmapLIVE "HIV & Health Inequalities" cuts straight through to the real reasons Black women are disproportionately affected by HIV & what needs to be done.

Absolutely horrified to hear the UK Government is cutting its support to @UNAIDS by more than 80%. Lives will be lost & the shocking inequalities experienced by by the most marginalised people living with HIV around the world will only get worse.
UNAIDS regrets the decision of the United Kingdom to reduce its financial support by 80%. This will have a significant impact on the provision of life-saving HIV services, access to sexual & reproductive health & rights, & upholding the human rights of the most marginalised.

Amazing friend and ally @SusanColeHaley compares inequalities around HIV & COVID. With COVID in the news every day for a year, progress is now being made to level the field as far as outcomes & treatment go. We must keep shouting louder to ensure the same progress with HIV ♥️
HIV & COVID-19 are both pandemics fuelled by inequities. My article about this is now out for #InfectiousDiseasesCampaign2021 Read here: bit.ly/30sfZg5 Thanks to @Halima_Begum, @JamesNPCole & dr @vanessa_apea for sharing their important insights.

So I’m looking at #thameswater’s Customer Charter. “We make a difference to your world”. You certainly do. The sewage of London sits in my basement for the third time in 16 years. My world turned upside down. And #thameswater washes its hands of it.

No point talking to @thameswater, after blocked main sewer has flooded my home with contaminated water. #thameswater denies any responsibility, will not attend to pump out nasty grey water sitting in basement kitchen. I’ve paid water rates on time for 25 years. #CustomerService
It's been an honour to work with Hideta Nakamura on this project. Please share it with HIV community colleagues in Asia. jp.surveymonkey.com/r/N59QBY…
