🎙️🎙️December 1st is World AIDS Day, a time to honor those we’ve lost to HIV/AIDS and to recognize the many people who continue to live with the virus. It’s also a moment to celebrate the tremendous progress made in both treatment and prevention, including long-acting injectable options. And as we look ahead, we can feel hopeful about what’s on the horizon: even longer-lasting treatments and preventive tools, and the ongoing scientific pursuit of an effective vaccine that could one day end HIV transmission.

🎙️🎙️One of the best ways to reduce the spread of HIV is Treatment as Prevention (TaP).
