In advance of our satellite session at IAS 2025, we invite you to meet a few of the people making this work possible. Each video offers a window into the resilience, innovation, and collaboration that sustain AHD care in the face of global uncertainty, as well as the significant work that remains.

When the U.S. Government issued a stop-work order and froze foreign aid funding, it led to significant disruptions across low-and middle-income countries. In Uganda, key health programs ground to a halt. One of the people affected was Rogers Balyejusa, a dedicated HIV index testing focal person whose role, previously supported by a CDC-funded project, was terminated due to the funding freeze.

When the funding freeze hit, community outreach services ground to a halt, including the ones that were used by Night, an ART client in Uganda.

The THRIVE project aims to optimize the implementation of STOP AIDS package through research and stakeholder collaboration. A key component of the project is the Pediatric Expert Advisory Group (PEAG), a stakeholder group led by Penta under the THRIVE project to facilitate cross-country learning, review the current pediatric-specific evidence, and inform future research and tailored interventions to ensure that each child receives the most appropriate level of care.
