Electrifying news: Bandit9, the company celebrated for its cutting-edge vehicles that blur the line between science fiction and art, is the latest partner to join the (RED) family in the fight against AIDS. This collaboration introduces the EVE x (RED), a machine born of power and crafted with purpose.

Like every Bandit9 masterpiece, the EVE x (RED) is hand-sculpted with state-of-the-art engineering and meticulous attention to detail. Its body is shaped and finished entirely by hand from space-grade aluminum, resulting in a surface as smooth to the touch as it is to the eye. This isn’t just a motorcycle; it’s a vehicle that transcends conventional automotive design, entering the realm of functional sculpture.

(RED) is at the heart of the vehicle, quite literally. The focal point of EVE x (RED) is a red panel coated in Vietnamese lacquer, achieved through a centuries-old art form that involves applying 20 layers of resin by hand over several weeks that results in a rich, deep luster.

Only 9 pieces of the EVE x (RED) will ever be made, and 100% of the proceeds from every (Bandit9)RED purchase will be donated to (RED) to support our efforts in bringing life-saving healthcare programs to communities most in need. For the avoidance of doubt, “Proceeds” shall be defined as a fixed amount of Fourteen Thousand Dollars ($14,000) per motorcycle.

This is a guest (RED)ITORIAL written by Cynthia Kasonde, Medical Laboratory Scientist at Churches Health Association of Zambia and an ambassador of the (RED) and Roche partnership.

The International AIDS Society 2025 Conference on HIV Science, held in Kigali, Rwanda, brought together global experts, researchers, policymakers, and frontline professionals to reimagine the next chapter in the fight against HIV and AIDS. The event was a powerful reminder that ending AIDS as a public health threat requires country-led strategies, strong, integrated health systems, and African-led solutions to shield HIV programs from future political shocks. With the theme “Moving HIV Science into Policy and Practice,” IAS 2025 emphasized urgency, resilience, and the need to translate cutting-edge research into real-world solutions.

I attended IAS 2025 representing the (RED) and Roche partnership, advocating for increased access to diagnostics and stronger lab systems in fighting pandemics and building equitable healthcare. As a lab professional, I shared how diagnostics—though often behind the scenes—are central to care, forming the foundation of treatment, policy, and prevention.

At the Roche x (RED) booth, I delivered a talk titled “How Local Labs Have a Global Impact,” where I shared insights from my work inside a diagnostic laboratory in Lusaka, Zambia. I outlined the critical process from sample collection to test result, emphasizing three key phases: pre-analytical, involving proper collection, storage, and labeling; analytical, which includes accurate testing using technologies like PCR and serology, requiring trained staff, calibrated equipment, and validated methods; and post-analytical, focused on the secure and timely interpretation and reporting of results.

Each step is governed by rigorous quality assurance, because even one mistake can change a life.

Despite diagnostics informing 70% of medical decisions, they receive under 5% of global health funding. Nearly half the global population lacks access to basic testing. This isn’t just a health crisis, it’s an economic one. In 2000, fewer than 800,000 people were on antiretroviral therapy; today, it’s over 30 million, largely due to expanded testing. Yet, many still face delays or missed diagnoses, leading to higher costs, more transmission, and poorer outcomes. Investing in diagnostics is not only ethical, it’s strategic.

In many sub-Saharan labs, a single machine may test for HIV, TB, hepatitis B and C, and HPV. These integrated platforms are lifesaving, especially amid funding cuts. A mother can be tested for HIV and screened for cervical cancer in one visit. This efficiency isn’t just practical, it’s transformative.

IAS 2025 spotlighted urgent shifts in the global HIV response. U.S. funding cuts have reversed gains, reducing ARV access in regions like Mozambique and Latin America. African scientific leadership shone through, with initiatives like the Africa Cure Consortium and outbreak responses such as Rwanda’s Marburg containment. Innovations like Lenacapavir, a long-acting PrEP injection now WHO-recommended, signaled a major shift. Zambia’s adoption of CAB-LA and oral PrEP options showed promise, especially for adolescents, a group facing high rates of suicidal ideation. Advances in bNAbs and CAR-T therapy also opened new frontiers.

Diagnostics underpin these advances. In the face of funding shortfalls, timely and affordable testing ensures smart use of limited ART. For innovations like Lenacapavir, diagnostics track adherence and resistance. In adolescent care, they support tailored mental health interventions. And in cure research, they measure viral load and immune response. Diagnostics are the silent enablers; without them, prevention and treatment efforts stall.

Speakers at IAS stressed that tools alone aren’t enough, it’s how we use them and who we empower that matters. More meaningful public-private partnerships are needed. Countries don’t just need donors, they need committed partners. The Roche x (RED) collaboration is one such model. It’s not just about providing machines but also training people, embedding sustainable systems, and building lasting infrastructure. As I said during my talk, “The Roche x (RED) partnership isn’t about charity, it’s about building resilient systems that last.”

Another key message was the call for true country ownership. Governments must design health reforms rooted in local realities, not donor preferences. At CHAZ, we live this every day. Our work is embedded in Zambia’s national lab network, building systems that are both technically sound and community-owned.

A deeply personal takeaway from IAS 2025 was the growing recognition of lab professionals. Too often overlooked, our work powers the data behind decisions, alerts, treatments, and policies. A missed HIV diagnosis isn’t just one error; it delays care, spreads disease, and distorts data. Labs remain underfunded, but our role is finally being acknowledged. As I said in Kigali, “When I speak on behalf of (RED) and Roche, I’m amplifying the voices of lab professionals across Africa, people whose work is vital but too often invisible.”

Looking ahead, the future of diagnostics is bright. New research in treatments, vaccines, and testing is promising, but innovation is meaningless if it’s not accessible. Equity must guide every step. Representing (RED), Roche, and countless African lab professionals at IAS 2025 was an honor. We may not always be seen, but our impact is felt worldwide. “We may work in the background, but our work speaks volumes, and with partners like (RED) and Roche, the world is finally listening.”

The end of AIDS won’t come from breakthroughs alone. It will come from everyday acts of clarity: one test, one diagnosis, one life at a time.

This is a historic moment and an opportunity to invite more people than ever to Choose (RED).

This initiative is made possible thanks to the Snapdragon front-of-shirt sponsorship of Manchester United. While this is the first time that Snapdragon has teamed up with (RED), Snapdragon is not new to the global fight against health injustice. For over two decades, Qualcomm  has worked to bring connectivity and technology to underserved communities around the world, including countries like Kenya, Morocco, Nigeria, South Africa, and Tanzania.

Qualcomm’s programs help strengthen several on the ground health efforts including capacity building for healthcare workers, improving vaccine delivery to ensure efficacy, providing mobile ultrasounds for maternal health and supporting informative and educational HIV programs.

The Qualcomm-supported program KidzAlive Mobilized, implemented by Zoë-Life Innovative Solutions seeks to deliver HIV education and adherence support to children and caregivers through gamified digital tools and apps. Since its inception in 2017, KidzAlive Mobilized has reached 30,000+ children and helped train over 700 healthcare workers in South Africa, winning the 2024 GLOMO Award for ‘Tech4Good Best Mobile Innovation for Enhancing the Lives of Children and Young People.’

We’re honored to continue the legacy of strengthening health systems in the most vulnerable parts of the world. Thank you, Snapdragon, for turning your iconic collaboration with the world’s most famous football club into a force that saves lives with (RED)! We can’t wait to see the (RED) shirt on the pitch during the Manchester United women’s team and Manchester United men’s team matches on May 10th and 11th.

Snapdragon is a product of Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. and/or its subsidiaries.

Her Life, Her Worth: The Fight Against Preventable Cervical Cancer

When I think of cervical cancer awareness campaigns, I’m inspired to follow the narrative of “saving the lives of our grandmothers, mothers, daughters, wives, aunts, sisters and friends.” But, I’m reminded of a challenge posed by a friend who once asked, “Why does a woman have to belong to someone in order to be of any value? Why can’t she just be worthy because she just is, without linking her to someone?” I found that question to be powerful. So, this (RED)ITORIAL is about saving the woman from preventable diseases, because she is worthy, by simply being… her.

When we talk about the importance of saving women from cervical cancer, it’s crucial to understand the underlying factors. Cervical cancer is caused by persistent infection with high-risk types of the human papillomavirus (HPV). It is both preventable and treatable, yet it remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths among women worldwide. Also preventable and treatable is HIV, though nearly 4,000 girls and young women contract the virus every week. No woman should die from a disease that can be prevented, detected early and managed effectively. Unfortunately, with both cervical cancer and HIV/AIDS, the lack of awareness and health equity continue to result in preventable deaths.

Bridging the Gap: Addressing the Dual Threat of HIV and Cervical Cancer

Cervical cancer disproportionately affects women in resource-limited settings, and the risk is even higher for women living with HIV. Women living with HIV are six times more likely to have an HPV infection progress to cervical cancer. This reality highlights the urgent need for integrated healthcare approaches that address both HIV and HPV infection.

By focusing on holistic healthcare models that incorporate integrated, regular testing for HIV and HPV, we can ensure that women receive comprehensive care with a large focus on screening, treatment, and support.

The Power of Prevention and Early Detection

Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable forms of cancer, thanks to advancements in HPV vaccines, routine screenings and early treatment. In my role in the diagnostics field, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing how early screening through HPV DNA testing is crucial in ensuring women receive timely interventions. However, I’ve also seen the devastating impact of limited awareness and access, with many women presenting to clinics or hospitals only when their symptoms have become severe. Unfortunately, this late-stage diagnosis is far too common in my home continent, Africa.

Governments, healthcare organizations, and communities are coming together in an effort to bridge this gap. It is crucial that the global effort to eliminate cervical cancer reaches every corner of the world, so that no woman is left behind. The burden of cervical cancer is heaviest in regions where healthcare resources are scarce. Women in low- and middle-income countries often face significant barriers to accessing preventive care, from financial constraints to lack of healthcare infrastructure.

Tackling these inequities requires national commitments, continental efforts, global partnerships, increased funding, and innovative solutions that bring healthcare to the most underserved populations. By prioritizing both cervical cancer and HIV prevention, screening and treatment on a global scale, we can save lives and empower women to thrive.

The Urgency of Now

As we observe Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, I am reminded of the safety instruction on an airplane: “In case of emergency, secure your own oxygen mask before helping others.” So, to the woman reading this (RED)ITORIAL, I ask, “Have you been screened or vaccinated for HPV?” If your answer is yes, I encourage you to spread the message to others. To the man reading this, I ask, “Are you encouraging the women in your life to get screened?” Your support plays a vital role in empowering the women around you to prioritize their health—whether it’s getting vaccinated, encouraging others to schedule routine screenings, or supporting advocacy groups and local organizations dedicated to preventing cervical cancer.

For me, the fight against cancer became deeply personal on January 29, 2024, when I lost the greatest love of my life, my beloved Father, to prostate cancer. When I think of cancer, I often find myself in the second stage of grief: anger. But I’ve chosen to channel that anger into action, honoring his memory and the countless lives affected by this disease.

I invite you to join us on this journey, together, we can create a future where cervical cancer and HIV are no longer a threat to women’s lives.

Let us stand united in this fight for her… because she is simply worthy.
