  • So What if Civil Society Independence is Lost?

    Angelo Kaggwa-Katumba, an AVAC staff member, discusses the continued shrinking space for civil society – a trend threatening the very foundation of civil society globally, especially organizations that work in the field of HIV/AIDS, with groups like men who have sex with men, sex workers, people who inject drugs and others. He argues that ending AIDS cannot be achieved without the independence and freedom of expression of civil society organizations.

  • #TargetsMatter

    Devex recently published Right things, right places, right targets — right now, an article calling on the US President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) to set new treatment and prevention targets. These targets matter, especially prevention targets, which often lack precision. The time for targets is now and absent targets is a missed opportunity in the fight against AIDS.

  • A Pill That Prevents HIV

    Over the past few months I have spent a lot of time talking to LGBT people about PrEP. I have been at meetings that were specifically focused on HIV and meetings where HIV was a very, very small part of the agenda. And while it’s clear that PrEP is needed for LGBT people, it’s also clear that we have a lot of work to do.
