HIV/AIDS Support Space with Cyn

Did you know? Couples living with HIV can have HIV-negative children!

With the right care, this is completely achievable. When an HIV-positive parent is on effective antiretroviral therapy (ART) and has a suppressed viral load, the risk of passing HIV to the baby is greatly reduced.

During pregnancy, regular check-ups, safe delivery methods, and giving the baby preventive HIV medication after birth help keep the child HIV-negative.

Breastfeeding can also be safe if the mother is on ART and her viral load is undetectable. An undetectable viral load means the virus is at very low levels, which greatly reduces the chance of passing HIV to the baby through breast milk.

HIV doesn’t stop you from building a healthy family. With knowledge, treatment, and care, safe parenthood is possible!

Today we remember all those who lost their lives to AIDS — the ones who never got the chance to live out their dreams, raise their children, or grow old, because in those days, there was no treatment, and stigma pushed many into loneliness and despair.

There was a time when an HIV diagnosis meant isolation, rejection, and fear. Many were abandoned by their families and friends, left to suffer and die alone — not because they were bad people, but because society was blinded by stigma and ignorance.

Today, things are different.
HIV treatment has given life, hope, and a second chance to millions. People living with HIV can now live fully — to love, work, and raise families. We’ve truly come a long way, but stigma still remains a painful reminder of the past. It still destroys confidence, relationships, and lives.

Let’s honor those who didn’t make it by treating those living with HIV with kindness and respect.
💖 Stop the judgment.
💬 Stop spreading rumours.
🤝 Start showing love and acceptance.

Those living with HIV are human beings — deserving of respect, compassion, and dignity, just like everyone else. 🌈

Knowing your HIV status is one of the most powerful things you can do for your health, and your future. Too many people walk around not knowing, and that silence can cost lives. Whether your result is negative or positive, testing puts you back in control.

✅ If you're negative, you can take steps to stay that way.
❤️ If you're positive, you can start treatment early, live a long, healthy life, and protect those you love.

Fear of the result should never stop you — the real danger is in not knowing at all. This Wellness Wednesday, make the decision that could change everything: Get tested. Know your status. Take charge of your health.

🚀 That’s a wrap from Lomé!

From 212 applicants, only 15 outstanding fellows were selected to join the IAS Advocacy-for-Cure Academy 2025 which brought together fellows, faculty and partners from across Africa to bridge science, advocacy and community leadership in the field of cure research.

The Academy set out to strengthen advocates’ understanding of HIV cure science, build their skills in evidence-based advocacy, and connect advocates across regions. It’s safe to say mission accomplished.

With new skills, scientific knowledge and powerful connections, participants now leave ready to amplify HIV cure advocacy across Africa.

A big thank you to our faculty, our partner AVAC, and most importantly to our fellows for their energy and commitment throughout these 3 days. You made it unforgettable!✨

🌞Let’s start the week with compassion.
HIV doesn’t change who someone is — it’s just a part of their health, not their worth. When we stop judging and start supporting, we make the world safer and kinder for everyone.

Hi sister please keep me anonymous. I'm with my girlfriend for 1 year now and last month I tested positive to HIV. But when I told my girlfriend she didn't act surprised she just kept quiet. I think this woman infected me. she's still coming to my house not saying anything about my status. Before I met her I was strong and fit I only got sick a few months ago. Why is she not surprised is my question? I'm now scared of this woman

Stop judging. Start supporting. HIV doesn’t define anyone — kindness, love, and respect do. Let’s end the stigma together.

Hie guys. Last night I had unprotected s*x with my boyfriend and he gave me ARV pill saying if I take it I won't contract HIV. He said he just keep the pills for emergency. How safe am I guys? Can someone just keep ARVs for emergency?
