When you come out, the bullying doesn’t always stop, it just moves online.

This is one of the realities shared by LGBTQIA+ youth during our Limpopo consultation.

From cyberbullying and mental health struggles to the lack of representation in public spaces, young people are calling for change.

What’s your take? Are we doing enough to create safe and inclusive spaces for LGBTQIA+ youth? Tell us in the comments.

Oh what a day!💉✊

A defining moment in public health. President Cyril Ramaphosa officially launched the Lenacapavir HIV prevention programme in Secunda today, calling it a major turning point for South Africa.

💬 "To us, Lenacapavir is not just a medicine or a drug; to us it represents a major turning point in South Africa's national story. It represents one of the most significant scientific breakthroughs since the advent of antiretroviral treatment. It represents the triumph of science over despair."

What makes Lenacapavir a game-changer? Here is what the science says. 🧪📊

As we celebrate the rollout in Mpumalanga today, here is why global health bodies like the World Health Organization (WHO) and UNAIDS are strongly backing this innovation:
💉Twice a Year Protection: Just one injection every 6 months means full protection without the burden or stigma of daily pills.
💉Outstanding Efficacy: Clinical trials (PURPOSE studies) showed near-total efficacy in preventing HIV transmission when taken correctly.
💉Empowering Choice: It puts the power of prevention directly back into the hands of those who need it most—giving young women and key populations total discretion over their health.

True healthcare access isn't just about medicine; it's about giving people options that actually fit into their lives.

This groundbreaking, twice-yearly injectable is a massive step forward for HIV prevention, especially for adolescent girls, young women, and vulnerable key populations.
