HIV is not the death sentence it once was. With consistent access to treatment, people living with HIV can live long, full lives – raising families, building careers, and planning for the future.

But that promise only holds if treatment reaches everyone who needs it. Right now, gaps in testing and treatment coverage mean too many people are still being left behind.

Governments and health systems must prioritize HIV testing and treatment coverage in national health policy and budgets because access to treatment is access to life.

TREATMENT = LIFE. Let's make sure everyone gets the chance to live theirs.

This episode turns the spotlight on political will as the decisive, often underestimated force in strengthening global public health.

Our guest is former President Carlos Alvarado Quesada of Costa Rica, whose government steered the country through the COVID-19 pandemic on the strength of a public health system decades in the making, and who has continued to shape global conversations on public health, climate change, and governance since leaving office.

Drawing on his leadership in Costa Rica and his ongoing work in global health diplomacy, this conversation explores what it truly takes - politically, institutionally, and personally - to build health systems that hold up under pressure, and what it will take to do the same at regional and global scales. President Alvarado is also a member of Club de Madrid.

Special thanks to Club de Madrid 🎉

Taking PrEP is a powerful step in preventing HIV, but regular check-ups keep you informed, supported, and protected. Routine monitoring ensures everything is working as it should, so you can move forward with confidence.

Stay consistent, informed, and protected.

Behind every smile, someone may be facing silent struggles. Mental health challenges can feel isolating, especially alongside chronic illness and stigma.

Healing goes beyond physical care, emotional wellbeing, safe spaces, counselling, and community support all matter. Take a moment to breathe, reach out, and seek support. Asking for help is a strength, not a weakness
You are more than your diagnosis, your struggles, or your difficult days. You deserve peace, support, care, and joy.

The global debt crisis is a human rights issue. When unfair debt payments are prioritized over people, life-saving programs for climate resilience, access to education, and universal healthcare suffer, leaving 3.4 billion people without the resources needed to live with dignity. Much of this system is tied to financial institutions and lending structures rooted in wealthier economies—making reform a shared responsibility. The U.S. and Europe can play a major role.

The Freedom from Debt campaign is calling for practical solutions:
✔A Borrowers’ Forum to strengthen developing countries’ negotiating power
✔Debt relief during public health and climate crises to protect lives
✔A 1% AI solidarity levy to invest in resilience

Stronger systems abroad mean a more stable future for all.
