"Today, over 90% of all people living with #HIV in 🇷🇼 know their status & almost all of them are on life-saving treatment. Of those, 90% have achieved viral suppression. That makes 🇷🇼 one of the few countries to achieve the 90-90-90 targets prior to 2020"-@DrTedros at #ICASA2019
@DrTedros @WHOAFRO @RwandaHealth @UNAIDS "Millions of people are on #HIV treatment. Even better, millions of people are NOT on treatment because they have the tools to protect themselves. We’ve accelerated research & development. We’ve pushed back the boundaries of science & are now in hot pursuit of a cure"-@DrTedros 
@DrTedros @WHOAFRO @RwandaHealth @UNAIDS "The gains we have made are under threat, with signs of wavering political commitment & declining funding.
In 2018, 770 000 people died from #HIV & 1.7 million people were newly infected & the vast majority of these cases & deaths occurred here in Africa"-@DrTedros at #ICASA2019

@DrTedros @WHOAFRO @RwandaHealth @UNAIDS "Most of the #HIV cases & deaths are here in Africa. We know who these people are; over 1/2 of people newly infected belong to key populations groups & their partners, such as men who have sex with men, people who use drugs, sex workers, transgender people & prisoners"-

@DrTedros @WHOAFRO @RwandaHealth @UNAIDS "In @WHOAFRO, young people are the most vulnerable, especially adolescent 👧, who account for 3 in 4 new #HIV infections. We have the tools to prevent new infections, but more effort is needed to improve access & uptake of these tools, alongside anti-retroviral therapy"-@DrTedros
@DrTedros @WHOAFRO @RwandaHealth @UNAIDS "Half of the children living with #HIV lack access to testing and treatment with coverage levels lower than among adults. Of children receiving treatment, 2 in 3 are on suboptimal medicine"-@DrTedros at #ICASA2019
@DrTedros @WHOAFRO @RwandaHealth @UNAIDS "The theme of this conference doesn’t only give us the vision of an #AIDS free Africa. It also tells us how to get there: innovation, community and political leadership"-@DrTedros at #ICASA2019
@DrTedros @WHOAFRO @RwandaHealth @UNAIDS "We need better treatments, better diagnostics, and we still need an #HIV vaccine"-@DrTedros at #ICASA2019
@DrTedros @WHOAFRO @RwandaHealth @UNAIDS "Since the early days of #HIV, communities of affected people have been the driving force of the response. Our job as leaders is to listen to what these communities are telling us they need, rather than telling them what we think they should have"-@DrTedros at #ICASA2019
@DrTedros @WHOAFRO @RwandaHealth @UNAIDS "The results you have achieved would not have been possible without Your Excellency’s vision & leadership, not only for #HIV, but for #HealthForAll. And it’s the kind of leadership that is now building here in Africa & around the 🌍"-@DrTedros at #ICASA2019
