Honoured to join @OAFLAD’s 27th Ordinary General Assembly: Closing the Gender Gap, to address a topic very close to my heart - how to #endAIDS on our continent, Africa. And in particular, how to protect our girls and young women from HIV and AIDS.

Through @OAFLAD's #FreetoShine initiative, many of your countries have already made great strides toward eliminating mother-to-child transmission of HIV. Botswana🇧🇼, for example, was recently certified by @WHO as close to ending mother-to-child transmission. 👏🏾 #AUSummit2023
We still have a long way to go - every 2 minutes, an adolescent girl or young woman acquires HIV. But we know the solutions to this: when girls complete secondary education their chance of getting HIV reduces by up to 50%.

Wonderful evening organised last night by @BCIU with friends and partners to celebrate @PEPFAR's #20YearsofImpact - such a bipartisan 🇺🇸 contribution to the world and us here in the Africa. #AUSummit2023 #PEPFARat20
In 2018, @pfizer had turned to Kathrin and her research team to identify a partnership that would advance mRNA development for a game-changing seasonal flu vaccine. During the #partnership search, she made fast friends with the Turkish-German cofounder and BioNTech CEO Ugur Sahin
Pfizer signed a collaboration agreement to codevelop a first-in-class, mRNA-based coronavirus vaccine, aimed at preventing COVID-19 infection. BioNTech received $72 million up-front & was eligible for future milestone payments of an additional $563 million

In addition, we were going to provide $113 million in cash to @BioNTech_Group by buying equity from the company. The two parties agreed to share all development costs and profits fifty-fifty. If the project failed, @pfizer would bear all the losses alone
AIDS is an injustice because today we have tools for prevention, testing & treatement. But last year we had 1.5 million people were newly infected with HIV, and AIDS took 650,000 lives. When you peel that and see who is dying, you see that #inequalites are at the root. #Equalize
In 🇺🇸 Black people are 8.5x more likely to be infected with HIV than white people. Black gay men in US face 1 in 2 risk of contracting HIV across their lifetime. This is a higher risk than the average in 🇺🇬 and almost as high as in hot spot countries like 🇿🇦.

Countries w/highest HIV rates are struggling to pay debt, squeezing out expenditures on health & education. In the midst of COVID, when rich countries put $17TR into recovery, dev'ing countries were continuing to make debt repayments 4X their health budgets. This is an injustice!
AIDS is not over. An AIDS death every minute is an emergency! HIV rates are not following the trajectory that we together promised. Indeed, amidst the fall-out from the Covid crisis, we could even see a resurgent pandemic.

@UNAIDS @UN_PGA @AminaJMohammed But a never-ending HIV pandemic is not our fate. Even in spite of all the set-backs, we can #endAIDSby2030. Business as usual however, would fail. The programs that have secured substantial progress will not enable us to finish the journey because the road is blocked

The evidence and analysis are clear. Inequalities in power, status, rights & voice are driving the HIV pandemic.
Inequalities kill.
As the #GlobalAIDSStrategy sets out: to end AIDS, we have to end the inequalities which perpetuate it. #HLM2021AIDS

Since the start of the epidemic 77.5 million people have become infected with HIV and more than 34 million have died of AIDS-related causes.
However, HIV is more than a disease.
It's an issue of social justice.
No one should be infected and no one should die.

In the past 40 years, we have made huge progress in turning the epidemic around: 75% of all people living with HIV are now on treatment. That’s more than 27 million people, on treatment today.
