The past two months have been quite eventful for the National HIV and AIDS Response, as it saw the major launch of a MEN ENGAGE Campaign by 2 critical sectors, being the private and public sector. The campaign theme is; Ngingubabe ngiyisukumele imphilo yami which seeks to encourage men to stand up for their health so they live longer, healthy and productive lives.

Today we have a motivational piece from Fiji, told from the perspective of a person living with HIV. We hope this testimonial will change the way we view HIV and be encouraged to live positively with HIV and bring about change in the communities we live in. We bring you the story of Jokapeci Cati who is the Program Manager and founder of the Fiji Network for Positive People (FNP+). This is her self-told story of how she became the first person living openly with HIV in Fiji.

2023 theme is, “Save lives: Decriminalise”.  UNAIDS is highlighting how the decriminalisation of key populations and people living with HIV saves lives and helps advance the end of the AIDS pandemic.

The World Health Summit (WHS) 2022, organized jointly with the World Health Organization (WHO) for the first time, is considered the world's leading meeting on global health.

The words people use to talk about HIV affect the way people living with HIV feel about themselves. These words also have an impact on how others view people living with HIV.

New platform launched on ending HIV-related stigma and discrimination Despite decades of advances in prevention and treatment, stigma and discrimination towards people living with HIV and key populations are a persistent barrier to addressing the epidemic.
