“More than ever, we need a big response from governments, from the community, from the private sector,” says MPact's Axel Bautista, “People are still dying, people are still getting H.I.V., people are still having complications getting access to their medication.”
PAID POST by ViiV Healthcare — How to End an Epidemic (When People Think It’s Already Over) There’s a perception that H.I.V. is no longer a global threat, but the numbers tell a surprisingly different story. Here’s how everything from funding to fear are stalling a sustained response to the public health crisis — and what needs to happen next.
Confidence isn’t just how you look, it’s how you take care of yourself. ✨ Staying up to date on vaccines is one way I protect my health and show up fully.

Provocative Op Ed from Mpact’s Alex Garner: “We can claim the power of our s*x and create change for our community. Our s*x is an incredible form of political resistance and also one hell of a good time.”
Q***r s*x is not just pleasurable—it's powerful Opinion: From the AIDS crisis to the modern fight for LGBTQ+ rights, s*x has served as an act of connection, resistance, and liberation, writes Mpact Global's Alex Garner.

Mpact was proud to develop the A**l About My Health comic 📖✨. It’s a terrific way to use art 🎨 and humor 😄 to help our community better engage in conversations about s*xual health ❤️🩹.
🍑 A**l health, in particular, must be approached free of fear and stigma.
Le désir, c’est avant tout une question d’envie et de consentement — celui des autres, mais surtout le tien. Tu as le droit de dire stop, de ne pas avoir envie, ou d’explorer à ton rythme, seul ou à plusieurs. Tu as aussi le droit d’aimer ça et d’avoir un appétit plus ou moins grand. On est tous différents. Et pour profiter sereinement, pense aux moyens de prévention qui te correspondent : dépistage régulier, protections, solutions adaptées… S’informer, c’est aussi se respecter. Et si tu as des questions, n’hésite pas à te tourner vers des associations, des professionnel·le·s de santé ou la communauté 🤍
Desire is first and foremost about willingness and consent — others’, but especially your own. You have the right to say stop, to not feel like it, or to explore at your own pace, on your own or with others. You also have the right to enjoy it and to have a bigger or smaller appetite. We’re all different. And to enjoy things with peace of mind, think about the prevention methods that fit you: regular testing, protection, and options that work for you. Being informed is also a way of respecting yourself. And if you have questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to community groups, healthcare professionals, or people around you 🤍

"Collaborating with Mpact Global to remind my people: taking care of your health is power.
Getting tested, staying up to date on vaccines (Mpox, HPV, hepatitis), and finding health care workers who actually see you makes all the difference.
I know these spaces can feel intimidating—but they don’t have to be. We deserve care that feels safe and real.
NYC fam—free clinics + info in my bio. Go get checked. Take care of you.
Contact your provide or local LGBTQ Health center to access vaccines."
