Two new cases of people ‘cured’ of HIV following stem cell transplants to treat cancer, bringing the total cured this way to 13. Note well: this is a dangerous and arduous treatment which can not be scaled up to treat all cases of HIV - although each new case provides more insight. #AIDS2026

Celebrate every scientific success in HIV with some caution. Just because some people have been cured of HIV it doesn’t mean that a cure is available, viable or imminent for all of us yet. #hiv #hivcure #aids2026

Without access to drinkable water people with HIV may struggle to take medication, stay hydrated and prevent infections - all with implications for HIV treatment outcomes. Ending AIDS deaths requires more than just medication. #AIDS2026 www.aidsmap.com/news/jul-….

Over the 4 decades of the epidemic, Black, Brown and Indigenous communities have had poorer access to HIV prevention and treatment - and consequently higher HIV incidence and AIDS death rates than White people. Structural racism causes AIDS deaths. #AIDS2026

Racism remains a central driver of global HIV epidemics

At the 26th International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2026) held in Rio de Janeiro last week, a special session was devoted to racism as a driver of HIV outcomes.

NOW: press conference opens #AIDS2026. Precipitous funding cut of 2.1 billion USD, means more deaths, more infections. Scientific breakthroughs like long acting prevention will continue to be kept out of reach. And Trump’s State Department is refusing to spend piles of appropriated HIV funding

¿Pueden las innovaciones en prevención lograr el fin del SIDA como problema de salud global para 2030? Si es así, ¿qué hace falta para ello? Sobre eso hemos hablado, y mucho, en el #AIDS2026.

@aidsmap.bsky.social version of my #AIDS2026 cure report. As Matthew notes, each of these cases provides new clues, but stem cell transplantation is far from feasible for people with HIV who don't also have life-threatening cancer.
