I learned so much (as always) from the other speakers. What a great discussion of Equity in ALD--lots of disparities with lots of work for us all to do!

Thank you to @AASLDtweets and the organizers for recognizing this important topic and inviting this great group of speakers!

So proud of yesterday’s #HIV and liver disease session at #TLM2026, sponsored by the 🌈 @AASLDtweets #LGBTQ+ Subcommittee!

People living with #HIV face a disproportionate burden of liver disease yet remain underrepresented in research. They deserve greater inclusion and attention.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, and to my co-chair @GiadaSebastiani and co-speakers @snaggie1, @KWegermann, @alystraussMD , for a wonderful session!

In high-risk safety-net population, routinely available pre-endoscopic variables did not discriminate GIM beyond H. pylori status.

Risk-score-based triage is insufficient and endoscopic evaluation is more appropriate capture residual GIM risk.
