As we approach #AIDS2024, and continue to navigate the complexities of global health, the fight against AIDS remains a crucial challenge that demands our unwavering attention and collective action. AIDS has affected millions of lives worldwide, but through research, innovative financing, public-private partnerships, advocacy, and community efforts, we are making significant strides towards ending this epidemic. Every step forward is a testament to the resilience and determination of those who are dedicated to this cause. As we reflect on our progress, let’s renew our commitment to ending AIDS once and for all. Together, we can build a healthier and more equitable world. #IAS2024 #AIDS2024 #Germany #Munich

Groupe SOS turns 40 ✨ Founded in 1984, during the peak of the AIDS crisis, GROUPE SOS initially aimed to support people living with HIV and those struggling with addiction. Since then, we have evolved, grown, and expanded our efforts, while staying true to one conviction: social cohesion. 💬 𝐒𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭. In an increasingly fragmented world, it’s our backbone. It drives us forward, helping to build a future based on solidarity, where everyone has their place. Far from a naive idea, it’s a necessity. 📽 Check out our video for the 40th anniversary year, which will be filled with key moments and content focused on what unites us: social cohesion. 👏 Committed to social cohesion for 40 years, and long to come.

Celebrating Youth Day with a Purpose! Today, we honor the incredible energy, creativity, and resilience of the South African youth to drive change and impact society. As a social investor, we are inspired by the boundless potential of our youth to drive meaningful change and shape a brighter future, a future that they can thrive in. Investing in our youth is not just an option; it is a necessity. Empowering young people with education, resources, and support is key to eradicating HIV and fostering healthier communities. When we invest in the youth, we invest in innovative solutions, new perspectives, and a generation that can end the HIV epidemic once and for all. Here is a thread of the strategy of investing in the youth works and why it is important in ending AIDS. #Youthday #investingintheyouth #endAIDS2030

LHA's Board Chair, Carolyn Gillespie, recently wrote an opinion piece for Croakey Health Media on how the 2024 federal budget failed to support LGBTIQ+ communities. While she welcomes significant investment allocated to provide support for HIV and blood-borne virus prevention, there was little to celebrate for LGBTIQ+ health and wellbeing. "Today there are LGBTIQ+ people who are unable to access the mental health support they need, who are unable to access safe cancer screening services, who will experience discrimination when they reach out to a GP, and LHA full member organisations will continue to be unable to meet community demand. The recent budget was a missed opportunity, and I hope that both the 2024-2025 Mid‑Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook and the 2025-2026 budget shed light and much-needed investment into LGBTIQ+ health and wellbeing."
