In this sample of clinical sites in the Boston area, young people were less aware of HIV #PrEP.

MGH investigators analyzed data from sexual health clinic sites in the Boston area and found that among those with #PrEP indications, young females were less likely to be prescribed PrEP compared with male peers and older females. @NeilanAnne

Led by researchers at @mgh_mpec and @OPHID_Trust, modeling analysis in @JIDJournal projects that long-acting injectable ART could prevent infant infections, improve maternal life expectancy and be cost-effective in Zimbabwe. #HIV #maternalandchildhealth

This work highlighted the need for this life-saving medication to be made available in LMICs at an affordable price. #HIV #maternalandchildhealth @dgsomucla @uabmedicine @HarvardChanSPH @AadiaMd @NeilanAnne @ClareFlanagan71 @aciaranello @MassGeneralNews

Hyle et al. found that the WHO-recommended package for advanced HIV disease (AHD) would improve clinical outcomes and quality-adjusted life expectancy and be cost-effective in Malawi and is likely to be cost-effective in most high burden HIV settings.

[MGH Medical Practice Evaluation Center (MPEC) @mgh_mpec]

These findings from the multi-disciplinary team at MGH, EGPAF, and the WHO underscore the substantial clinical and economic benefits of ensuring the availability and implementation of the WHO-recommended AHD package of care globally.
