“I want little girls born with HIV to see someone they can become.” — Anita, Jr. Project Coordinator at LetsStopAIDS. 🫶🏼

International Women’s Day is full of celebration. But celebration without sharing power changes very little.
When women living with HIV are only invited to share their stories, but not shape the systems, the spotlight benefits institutions more than the women themselves. Representation becomes performative.

When women living with HIV are resourced and positioned to lead instead of being exploited for their knowledge and experiences, the benefit doesn’t stop with them. It reaches the next generation, it reaches young women who grow up seeing leadership that looks like them, and believing they belong there too.
That is when the spotlight finally does what it was meant to do. 💖

Here’s a peak at a Harm Reduction Kit (P2P’s Version) 🫶🏼

• Condoms (both kinds because inclusivity matters)😉
• L**e because, dry conversations are bad enough 😩
• A self-test HIV kit, and
• Naloxone.

Real harm reduction means meeting people where they’re at and making sure they have what they need to stay safe. 💖

Book a P2P workshop today and let us bring the real essentials to you. Check out the

Inspired by the pop girls of 2024, Vicky flipped marketing culture into a behavioural psychology campaign tackling antibiotic resistance 🧠 + PrEP adherence — and secures $1000 and a year of mentorship to bring it to life. ✨

Big ideas can come from anywhere. Let us know what inspired yours? 👀

Meet Baris 👋

Our Software Developer Volunteer who keeps things running behind the scenes (and probably has 12 tabs open while doing it).

Anime watcher, gamer, programmer, traveller… and self-proclaimed sloth 🦥 Baris lives somewhere between “let’s be active” and “do not disturb.” He’s big on connecting with people and hearing the stories that shaped them — one of the reasons he loves travelling and discovering new cafés around the city.

Fun fact? Every New Year, he does a cold plunge at Woodbine Beach — his record is -14° ❄️ (yes, voluntarily).

We’re lucky to have him — and his black cat energy — on the team 🐈‍⬛💙

Do you want to build, create, and make an impact with us? We’re always looking for passionate volunteers to join the movement — check the link in our bio to .

March 1st is Zero Discrimination Day - a day to promote equality, inclusion, and challenge discrimination in all forms, especially those that undermine access to healthcare and violate basic human rights.

With this year’s UN “People First” theme, reminds us that stigma still blocks progress.

1 in 4 people living with HIV report discrimination in health settings. Many hide their status out of fear. This isn’t just stigma - it’s a barrier to ending AIDS.

We must remove harmful laws, protect compassionate care, and fund community-led responses.
This , we are highlighting the importance of every individual playing a role in ending discrimination. How do you help build a world without discrimination? - comment below or send us a DM.

Be part of the movement. with us.

This Black History Month, we honour the stories that shape our past, our present, and the future we’re building together. 🖤

Hear Anita, Junior Project Coordinator at LetsStopAIDS, share her journey as a Black woman living with HIV — her resilience, her strength, and the barriers she has overcome, from societal stigma to discrimination within healthcare systems.

Her story is a reminder that Black voices are not only part of history — they are leading change right now. 🫶

This month and always, support Black leadership, uplift Black voices, and stand with Black communities in the fight for health equity.
