Human trafficking increases risk for HIV due to sexual violence, limited autonomy, and restricted access to health care. These conditions are especially prevalent in situations of sexual exploitation, which disproportionately affect women and girls. According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, women and girls represent approximately 60 percent of detected trafficking victims globally (UNODC, 2023).

Recognizing human trafficking as a structural driver of HIV risk supports more effective prevention, testing, treatment, and linkage-to-care efforts across public health and service systems.

🌍💚 The impact of climate change goes beyond the environment it also affects our mental health. Rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and environmental uncertainty can lead to increased stress, anxiety, and even grief. But it’s important to remember, we are not powerless. 🌿

Acting for the planet can also be a way to take care of ourselves. Whether it's spending time in nature, reducing our carbon footprint, or connecting with others who share our commitment to sustainability, small steps can make a big difference for both the Earth and our well-being. 🌱💪

Anyone can get tuberculosis (TB), but people with weakened immune systems—such as those living with HIV—are at higher risk. HIV is a major risk factor for people with latent TB infection to develop active TB disease. That’s why testing and early treatment are essential. Providers—talk to your clients and patients about TB testing. Remember, Think. Test. Treat TB.
