Foundation for Health Equity

For the global HIV response, it’s been the toughest year in decades. Heartbreakingly, it feels as though the world is looking away again.

Every minute, someone dies of AIDS-related causes. This is happening right now. On our watch.

It’s not because we lack the tools. Long-acting PrEP could stop new cases. The science is remarkable. Lives could be changed today.

What’s missing is the attention and political will to end this. We’ve seen compassion move mountains before, and we believe it can again.

This , we’re asking you: Don’t look away.

At the launch of the UK’s new HIV Action Plan yesterday, Elton John AIDS Foundation's CEO Anne Aslett spoke with Ayshah Tull at Channel 4 News, who asked the big question: “No new cases of HIV by 2030, is that possible?”

Anne’s response: “If all of the elements of this plan are pushed forward, I think we could get there.”

In honor of AIDS Day, FOHEQ, Dr Biaka Memorial Foundation, and other partners came together on a high-level symposium with theme: Overcoming Disruption, DBMF leading the AIDS response.
The symposium was for organizations like FOHEQ currently implementing HIV prevention, treatment, and care for KVP exposed to contracting HIV. Not living out the current setback in funding sources, FOHEQ and other partners shared like minds on new strategies to ensure continuous sensitization and awareness campaigns at their different communities. Hence, keeping all partners on deck to:
# Rethink
and
# Rise
To ensure that we overcome disruption and transform the AIDS response.

The foundation health Equity joined the Ministry of public health today under the Regional technical group to commemorate world AIDS day.
