As negotiations on the Pandemic Agreement reach a critical stage, the message from civil society is clear: 𝗡𝗼 𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗻𝗼 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗹.

Across Europe, voices are calling for a 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗻 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁-𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 (𝗣𝗔𝗕𝗦) 𝗔𝗻𝗻𝗲𝘅, one that ensures countries sharing pathogen data are not left behind when it comes to accessing vaccines, diagnostics, and treatments.

The 𝗘𝗨 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱, not block progress.

AHF urges the EU and WHO member states to:
🔹 Commit to binding equity—no agreement without it
🔹 Guarantee benefit-sharing obligations in advance
🔹 Lock in standardized, enforceable contract obligations
🔹 Require transparency and traceability for users and data
🔹 Reject dual-track system proposals that circumvent obligations
🔹 Ensure intellectual property serves public health—not industry monopolies

The world cannot afford another agreement that leaves the most affected countries without access to life-saving tools.

Even though National Youth HIV/AIDS Awareness Day is a U.S. observance, it’s a good reminder that young people here in the UK also deserve clear information, free testing, and support without judgment.

Many young people still tell us they’re unsure about HIV, PrEP, U=U, or where to test confidentially. That’s why we keep showing up in communities, schools, and youth spaces — to make sexual health simple, accessible, and stigma‑free.

Young people deserve:

accurate, inclusive information

free and confidential HIV testing

non‑judgmental support

clear routes to prevention and care

AHF UK is committed to making sure every young person has what they need to stay informed, empowered, and healthy.
