[The Lancet @TheLancet]

Despite encouraging progress in the global #HIV effort, the Sustainable Development Goal of ending HIV as a public health threat by 2030 is not on track.

Ahead of #WorldAIDSDay, our latest Editorial "Triumphs and threats: HIV in 2024".

Denied a chance to represent and learn in person at #AIDS2024, many selected delegates faced similar issues.

Future hosts of the @AIDS_conference must address these barriers to ensure the call to #PutPeopleFirst

More injectable PrEP on the way, and this seems very promising!! Injections every 6 months!

84000 children died of HIV related causes in 2022. Children are 4 more likely to die of HIV than adults. Brilliant talk on long acting agents from LEAP guru: Charlie Flexner #CROI2024 “ people don’t fail drugs, drugs fail people”. Let’s not leave kids behind.

[Dr. Tara C. Smith @aetiology]

Of there are any journal editors reading who might be interested in a review of HIV denial over the years, with inclusion of COVID/ vaccine denial merger since 2020, I have one all ready to go. Trying to figure out the best home and happy to share a draft.

[Marc Theberge @MarcTheberge2]

I love it. Health and disease are so much more complex than we, as scientists, sometimes make it out to be.

It’s good sign for our future that Jennifer Doudna is advocating for access to gene editing.

And I was pleased to see that @Yale, where Brett spent his career as a faculty member, has established the Brett Lindenbach Virology Fund, to train the next generation of scientists in the field he loved and spent his life elevating.

@Peacetoday12 @defeatHIV I see your point, but it sounds stigmatizing. Risk can be reduced with currently available methods! Ultimately, with any partner living with HSV or not, there is inherent risk in sex, even “normal” sex. But some work should focus on eliminating health risks. Would you agree?

[Marc Theberge @MarcTheberge2]

@Peacetoday12 @defeatHIV People living with herpes can have safe sex lives without necessarily risking their partners’ health, though. I’m also not sure what “normal” is supposed to mean here.

[Matthew Hodson @Matthew_Hodson]

42 years after the first AIDS cases were reported
27 years after the development of a combination of drugs that effectively treat HIV and prevent AIDS
6 years after it was confirmed that undetectable means untransmittable…
living with HIV still carries a burden of stigma.

So pleased to report that our Mount Sinai-Yale long COVID (MY-LC) paper with @putrinolab & others is now published!! Proud of the hard work of all who contributed. We found biological signatures that can distinguish people with vs. without #longCOVID (1/) https://t.co/t8ARWBKLsQ

CDC's #ACIP votes 13-1 to recommend the updated COVID-19 vaccines for all, ages 6 months and up. A universal recommendation.

@KYT_ThatsME Tulane has public health masters and doctoral programs where wet lab work is possible, if not common, based on what I know of these programs.
