Today, on International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersexism, and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT), we stand in solidarity with LGBTQIA+ communities around the world. 🌈

At HIVBuddies, we believe every person deserves to live with dignity, safety, respect, and love, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or faith.

This day is a reminder that discrimination, silence, and hate still impact too many lives. Together, we can create safer, more inclusive spaces for everyone, especially for those in South Asian, MENA, and Muslim communities who continue to face stigma and exclusion.

We see you.
We support you.
We stand with you. Always. ❤️

Let’s continue to speak up, educate, protect, and celebrate diversity, not just today, but every day.

STBBI (Sexually Transmitted Bloodborne Infections) testing is an important part of taking care of your health. 💛

You don’t have to be “sleeping around” to catch an STI, and getting tested should never feel shameful or embarrassing. The truth is, regular testing gives peace of mind, builds confidence, and helps you stay informed about your body.

Testing isn’t about judgment.
It’s about self-care, responsibility, and protection. 🫶🏽

Normalize checking in on your sexual health just like any other part of your wellness routine.

🌈 Honored to Present at CAHR 2026 🇨🇦

I had the privilege of presenting my oral abstract at the 35th Canadian Conference on HIV/AIDS Research (CAHR) 2026 taking place April 23rd to 26th in Winnipeg as part of the Key Populations Session: Sexual and Gender Minorities.

🗓 Saturday | 🕚 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM
📍 Room 1, RBC Convention Centre, Winnipeg

My presentation:
“Multilingual Community-Led HIV Prevention & U=U Outreach with South Asian and Middle Eastern/North African (MENA) Newcomers, including 2SLGBTQI+ and Q***r Muslim Communities.”

This work, led through HIV Buddies Canada, highlights the power of:
✨ Multilingual outreach (English, Punjabi, Arabic)
✨ Peer-led, culturally safe engagement
✨ U=U (Undetectable = Untransmittable) awareness
✨ Centering underserved and often invisible communities including educational 9 videos and 4 postcards

We reached 500+ community members and 5,000+ online engagements, creating safe spaces to talk about HIV, reduce stigma, and improve access to prevention and care.

Grateful for the opportunity to share this work, connect with inspiring leaders, and continue advocating for equity, inclusion, and culturally grounded HIV responses.

Sexual Health
Intimacy = trust, respect, and honest conversations 💬💙

“I’m on PrEP.”
“That’s great — let’s still use a condom.”

It’s not about killing the vibe…
It’s about caring for each other and keeping things worry-free and more intimate.

Condoms + communication = confidence, comfort, and better connection.

Talk it out. Protect each other. Enjoy the moment — stress-free.
