Deeply saddened by the loss of an #HIVprevention pioneer, Gita Ramjee. She was a tireless champion of science, research, women's reproductive health and rights -- and may we all build on her legacy and make her calling, her dream a reality

#TonyFauci left huge shoes to fill as leader of @NIAIDNews, and Jeanne Marrazzo is the perfect person to build for the future. She's a distinguished physician, researcher AND advocate, and we are at AVAC are so excited to work with her in this role!

ANNOUNCEMENT: For the first time ever, the US CDC will allow for funding to pay for generic #PrEP as part of a supplemental opportunity to equitably scale-up #PrEP. This is a huge victory for advocacy orgs who have been fighting for a #NationalPrEPProgram. avac.org/wp-content/upl…

Thank you @POTUS for mentioning @PEPFAR during #SOTU2023 and for its reauthorization two decades after its launch in 2003! PEPFAR is one of the single most effective health programs in the US saving 25M lives delivering low-cost HIV treatment and prevention drugs across the globe
