It's #WorldAIDSDay and I thought I would share my story in a thread. I was born with #HIV HIV in 1998, full blown AIDS by six weeks of age due to poor care. (my mom was an alcoholic & addicted to crack & was barely able to get by herself). At six weeks of age I was in a coma.

On March 14th, Governor Jay Inslee signed into law SB 5829.

This law directs the WA State Dept of Health to create educational resources about the nature and consequences of in-utero exposure to CMV.

Mark your calendars!! The 16th International Workshop on HIV & Pediatrics will take place in Munich, Germany and on-line on 19-20 July 2024. Early registration is now open (deadline 19 Dec 2023). This is the ⭐️BEST⭐️ meeting on HIV in children - not to be missed!! #HIVPED

[IAS - the International AIDS Society @iasociety]

🆕 BREAKING – New @WHO guidance – People living with #HIV who achieve an undetectable viral load who are on consistent ART can not pass HIV on to their sexual partner(s) & are at low risk of transmitting HIV vertically to their children. #UequalsU #IAS2023 https://t.co/uvqWixBha6

[Annette Sohn @annettesohnBKK]

🙏 for emphasizing these gaps. Estimates of HIV vertical transmission rates to babies are 40% in the Philippines and 30% in Indonesia. It’s tragic and frustrating 😠

Loving this year’s HIV Pediatrics workshop #HIVPED - the BEST meeting all year! Didn’t make the long trip to Brisbane, Australia for this year’s event but enjoying the virtual version with interesting Asia-Pacific content. @CPARG_PED friends - who else is tuned in???

Great CATIE piece interviewing CPARG’s own Dr Sarah Khan, author of Canada’s guidelines on infant feeding, along with other experts on this important topic. Check it out!!

Curious to learn more about infant feeding and HIV transmission?

CTN Investigator and @CPARG_PED Executive Committee Secretary Dr. Sarah Khan shares advice and clinical considerations for people living with HIV who wish to breastfeed in @CATIEinfo's Prevention in Focus article.

Just published in @JAMMI_Journal : Consensus recommendations for feeding babies born from mothers living with HIV.

The inimitable @DrMelanieMurray is delivering an incredible presentation about community engagement in healthy aging research from the #BCC3 study at #AIDS2022 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 @HIV_HEAR_me

[Fatima Kakkar, MD,MPH @DrFatimaKakkar]

While I haven’t forgotten pediatric #COVID19 - some sobering facts from #AIDS2022 #HIVPed this week. More children (98000) will die every year from HIV than they ever have from COVID19. Pediatric HIV can be prevented and treated. 🇨🇦 could do more for #PediatricHIV

[Fatima Kakkar, MD,MPH @DrFatimaKakkar]

Participants like Shafic Makumbi - calling in via WhatsApp (!) to present his poster on Voluntary Consent in Pediatric HIV research - because his visa was denied

[Fatima Kakkar, MD,MPH @DrFatimaKakkar]

Is there a single other scientific meeting that welcomes protestors during the opening ceremony with a standing ovation? Welcome to #AIDS2022, a privilege to be here and for #Montreal to host this extraordinary group.

[The CTN+ | Le Réseau+ @CIHR_CTN]

"I am confident that we can use this conference to pull together as a community and use the evidence-based #research and best practices presented here to #reengage and go the last mile to end #AIDS as a public health treat by 2030."
