Day 4 of Rio Right Now! hit different…

We talked community-led response with Jirair and Micheal – because when it comes to HIV, community isn’t just “at the table,” they ARE the response.

Then: exciting new research with James McMahon on a treatment that could mean just 2 doses a year instead of a daily pill.

Plus, we headed to Ipanema Beach with global rugby star Gareth Thomas to talk about breaking stigma in sports, and sat down with Anne Aslett of the Elton John AIDS Foundation on what it really takes to turn science into impact.

New episodes drop daily throughout AIDS 2026 in collaboration with @ias_conference and @iasociety

See you tomorrow. Rio Right Now is just getting started.
