It's still very early, but any movement toward an #HIV vaccine is good and hopeful.
https://abcnews.go.com/Health/moderna-launches-clinical-trial-hiv-vaccine-mrna-technology/story?id=82510807
Communities celebrate together, mourn together and lift each other. This and every #WorldAIDSDay, we remember those we've lost, support those living, and celebrate the progress we've made while continuing to push ahead.
It's been 40 years since the first published report of what came to be known as #AIDS. In the US, nearly 1.2 million people are living with #HIV. There were more than 34,000 new infections last year alone.
It is time to end the epidemic. If you need an HIV test, or want more info on HIV in your local community, visit lifebeat.org/partners for local resources and support.
Today we remember the countless lives lost to acts of anti-transgender violence. 2021 has already seen at least 47 transgender or gender non-conforming people fatally shot or killed by other violent means, a record number since HRC began tracking this violence in 2013.
Honor their memories now and every day by listening, speaking up and taking action.

#SexIsOnTheBallot, via Washington Post:
"The Biden administration has revoked a Trump-era rule that had become a flash point in the #abortion wars, saying Monday it would no longer bar clinics that receive federal family planning aid from advising people about ending their pregnancies.
The new rule for the half-century-old family planning program known as #TitleX will allow health centers to receive the federal funds even if they refer patients for abortions."

The House just voted to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act.
Equal access to abortion care is essential for social and economic equality, reproductive autonomy, and the right to determine our own lives. But, in many places, accessing abortion care is extremely difficult, and for many people nearly impossible, because of state-level laws that restrict and ban access to abortion.
The #WomensHealthProtectionAct (WHPA) is federal legislation that will protect the right to access abortion care throughout the United States by creating a safeguard against bans and medically unnecessary restrictions. Text via the Center for Reproductive Rights.
Find out how you can support the #WHPA at Center for Reproductive Rights and actforwomen.org #actforabortionaccess

Over half of HIV+ people in the US are 50 and older. New HIV diagnoses are declining in this group, though they still make up 1 in 6 new HIV diagnoses. Effective treatment helps those diagnosed with HIV live longer, healthier lives, but access to treatment remains a struggle for many.

#BiWeek seeks to accelerate acceptance of the bi+ (bisexual, pansexual, fluid, no label, queer, etc.) community, drawing attention to the experiences, while also celebrating the resiliency of the bisexual+ community. Check out GLAAD for more.

"Discrimination around sexuality and gender identity is still very real, and our community deserves to feel supported and totally free to be themselves. I often get messages from fans telling me about their struggles with depression and suicidal thoughts, and it made me realize that this was something bigger than myself. If using my voice and expressing myself in my music can help even one kid out there who feels alone, then it was all worth it.” - #lilnasx 🖤 The Trevor Project

In the wake of Dababy’s homophobic rant, we wanted to help highlight several #musicians who continue to show love and support for the #LGBTQ+ community.

#MeganTheeStallion, #DuaLipa, #MileyCyrus and #EltonJohn have all spoken out against Dababys comments, with Megan saying that “It’s about time,” for greater LGBTQ+ acceptance in rap.
