Join the movement to #RethinkRebuildRise

The global HIV response is at a pivotal moment. As challenges intensify and progress hangs in the balance, we must come together to reflect on our past and reimagine our future.

A truly effective response means rethinking outdated models, rebuilding systems to put people first, and rising together through inclusive policies, innovation and sustained collaboration.

As we begin the Road to Rio for AIDS 2026, this is our moment to drive change. Lives, communities and futures depend on what we do next. It’s time to unite behind a shared call for a resilient, equitable and fully funded HIV response – one that ensures that no one is left behind.

We need your voice. Your experiences. Your vision.

Join the global movement by sharing your story, message, photo or video using the hashtag, #RethinkRebuildRise. Let the world know what a truly transformative HIV response looks like – through your eyes.
