Yesterday’s global Fast-Track Cities 2026 pre-conference satellite symposia in Berlin covered many diverse topics, including faith in action, optimizing cancer care, addressing the climate-health nexus, and housing as HIV prevention and treatment infrastructure.

7 years ago @IAPAC hosted the first global @FastTrackCities conference in London. Our aim was to convene the network but also to highlight the city’s HIV response. Next month the sixth convening of what is now a 600-city network will take place in Berlin. Time flies!

We are proud of the global @FastTrackCities network but also of the role we have been honored to play since 2014 as a core partner of an initiative that now includes more than 600 cities and municipalities globally. Join us in Berlin!
Fast-Track Cities, thank you for submitting more than 500 abstracts for presentation at our global conference taking place 11-13 October 2026 in Berlin. You are making the conference relevant to its theme, “Unity of Purpose.” #FTC2026 iapac.org/conferences/fast-t…

As the HIV community heads to Rio for @AIDS_conference, let’s embrace the fact the future of the response is ours to re-build. Trump 2.0 aftershocks cannot be allowed to define our future.

My latest @IAPAC blog post is about what #AIDS2026 must represent for the global #HIV response. The urgency of now has never been more present for our community to defend what we have and work on building back better. iapac.org/2026/07/28/aids-20…

When I visited with city and country delegations the siloes became so glaringly apparent. How do you plan a city without planning for healthy people and neighborhoods? Guess that is why I was invited to speak at #WUF13. report.az/2869983

At #WUF13, @JoseM_Zuniga spoke to housing as health and how housing provision can reduce risk of #AIDS-related death, a model that can readily be applied to other disease conditions and health more broadly. report.az/2869937
