Urgent Call to Action! The world is currently off track to meet the 2025 targets for reducing new HIV infections and deaths. If we don't make significant progress, UNAIDS projects that there will still be 1.4 million new HIV infections by 2030—far exceeding the target of 200,000. Despite our efforts, gaps remain in access to vital HIV prevention and treatment services. It's crucial that we redouble our efforts to address these gaps and accelerate our progress towards ending the HIV epidemic. Join the conversation and help raise awareness about this critical issue. Together, we can work towards a future where everyone has access to the services they need to protect themselves and their communities. #PutWomen_GirlsFirst #EndAIDS2030Ug

🌟 Exciting News Alert! 🌟 In a groundbreaking move to combat HIV/AIDS, Governor Gavin Newsom signed Bill SB 339 by Senator Scott Wiener on Tuesday, February 6, 2024. This critical measure is set to expand access to Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) throughout California, marking a significant stride in the state's efforts to curb HIV transmission and provide essential preventive healthcare to at-risk individuals. PrEP, a daily pill that significantly reduces the risk of HIV transmission, has faced barriers to accessibility, including high costs and limited availability. However, with the passage of SB 339, these obstacles are being addressed head-on. At Radiant Health Centers, we're thrilled about the positive impact of SB 339. Expanding access to PrEP aligns with our mission to provide comprehensive medical care and support to individuals affected by HIV/AIDS. Together, we're moving closer to a future free from HIV transmission. 💪🌈 #SB339 #PrEPAccess #EndHIVEpidemic #HealthcareForAll #HealthEquity #lgbtqhealth
