POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

A year ago, I packed my bags with excitement, curiosity, and a heart full of hope. I was on my way to Kigali for the International AIDS Conference, not knowing that it would become one of the most memorable experiences of my journey.

These photos remind me that conferences are about so much more than the sessions. They are about the people you meet, the conversations that stay with you long after the event, and the friendships that begin over a simple cup of coffee or a shared meal.

I learned from brilliant minds, exchanged ideas with advocates from around the world, laughed with new friends, explored the beautiful streets of Kigali, and yes… enjoyed some really good food along the way. Every meal had a story, every conversation opened a new perspective, and every day reminded me that we are stronger when we learn from one another.

I returned home carrying more than photos and conference materials. I brought back fresh ideas, lasting friendships, unforgettable memories, and a renewed commitment to advancing HIV prevention and ensuring young people’s voices are part of shaping the future.

Now, with just a few days before I head to Rio de Janeiro for #AIDS2026, I can’t help but look back with gratitude. It’s amazing how one conference can change the way you see the world, and how one year can change you.

Thank you for the lessons, the laughter, the friendships, and the memories, Kigali.

Rio, see you soon. 🇧🇷

Voices from across our communities are coming together with one message: “I’ll be there.”

As we count down to the 26th International AIDS Conference in Rio, we’re excited to connect, learn, collaborate, and amplify the voices of communities driving the HIV response forward. #AIDS2026 brings together researchers, policymakers, healthcare professionals, advocates, people living with HIV, and communities from around the world under the theme “Rethink. Rebuild. Rise.”

Now it’s your turn…

Will you be at AIDS 2026?
If your answer is YES, let us know in the comments section..

See you in Rio! 🇧🇷

Grateful to have joined the conversation on strengthening Tanzania’s HIV response.

It was encouraging to hear different perspectives on the progress we’ve made, while also recognizing the work still ahead. Expanding HIV prevention choices for adolescent girls and young women and ensuring communities are meaningfully engaged remain essential to achieving equitable health outcomes.

Every dialogue is an opportunity to listen, learn, and contribute to lasting change.

Upatikanaji. Uelewa. Hatua
Mustakabali wa kutokomeza UKIMWI unaanza na vijana wenye taarifa sahihi na uwezo wa kuchukua hatua. Tuvunje unyanyapaa, tujielimishe, na tulinde kizazi chetu.

Access. Awareness. Action.

The future of ending HIV starts with informed and empowered young people. Let's break the stigma, know the facts, and protect our generation.
