With our health system in crisis, few people would disagree with the need for a 10-year, locked in plan that includes funding and staffing. But when @opportunity_nz says cross-Party, many people treat it like a naive pipe dream, even though it's something New Zealand has already achieved.

Thanks to the tireless work of incredible advocates like @bodypositivenz @positivewomennz @burnettaotearoa and others, New Zealand has a National HIV Action Plan 2023-2030, which was introduced under Labour and has continued under this National-led government. It aims to make NZ the first country in the world to eliminate new, local acquisitions of HIV. This would be literally history making. The latest announcement that PrEP will now be funded regardless of immigration status brings us just one step closer to that goal.

And you know what would make that impossible? A 3-year funding cycle that flip-flops with each government. If we want to solve structural issues, we CANNOT just leave it up to one political bloc. The HIV Action Plan is something all Kiwi can be proud of. We need that kind of buy in to build the stability that will produce the health outcomes Kiwi deserve.

💜💖 MEET OUR POU WAIORA | HUI TAKATĀPUI 2026💖💜

Koutou e pae nei, tēnā koutou!

Introducing our incredible Pou Waiora, Reremoana Rāua ko Fiona Māua — Reremoana and Fee.🌺✨

Partners in life and mahi, these two bring together a wealth of experience, aroha and commitment to the wellbeing of our people. Married for six years and together for 14, they are mothers and grandmothers whose passion for whānau, leadership and growth sits at the heart of everything they do.

With expertise in executive coaching, facilitation, public service and kaitiakitanga, Reremoana and Fee are here to help create a space where our whānau feel supported, heard and cared for throughout the hui.

As our Pou Waiora, their role is grounded in manaakitanga — caring for the mana of others. Whether you need a quiet kōrero, a listening ear, a moment to breathe or someone to walk alongside you, they are here for you. 💜

You are welcome in all that you bring. Your tears, your silence, your laughter and your kōrero all have a place here.

He wāhi mōu. He wāhi mō tātou katoa.There is a place for you. There is a place for all of us. 💖

20 DAYS TO GO! 🧡

HIV today is not what it once was.
Thanks to modern treatment, I can live a healthy, fulfilling life and, most importantly, be myself again.

U = U. Undetectable = Untransmittable.
HIV doesn’t define me. It’s just part of my story.
Still living. Still running. Still me. 🏃🏽‍♂️🧡
