Outstanding talk by @BorreEthan with colleagues from TN and TN HIV service orgs, Yale, @HIVMA and @mgh_mpec using simulation modeling to enumerate the costs – in lives, HIV tx and $– of policies that direct HIV prevention $$$ AWAY from ppl at increased epidemiologic risk of HIV.
Tennessee’s rejection of CDC EHE funding cannot be justified on clinical, epidemiological, economic grounds, MPEC investigators find. Presented by Dr. Ethan Borre as a late-breaking abstract @IDweekmtg
Stellar line-up: Dr. Karin Nielsin, Dr. Sybil Hosek and Jonathan Hill-Rorie, MPH, with panelists Drs. Calvin Fitch, Katherine Koofhethile, and Dr. Kenneth Mayer. Learn about emerging science in HIV & Adolescence, Wed 4/7/21 12-1PM EST, free registration: https://t.co/acVLjtibig
@juliafoote@aciaranello@doc_in_a_box @ADPaltiel @RWalensky@juliafoote You were essential personnel! Amazing efforts and a joy to work with. Excited to see where the next steps take you (and not-so-secretly hoping you will come back!)
How about it @CDCgov @CDC_HIVAIDS @CDCNPIN@CDC_DASH? With commentary from @BruceSchackman: "We need to invest now in developing, testing, and implementing developmentally and culturally appropriate interventions if we are to achieve the goal of ending the HIV epidemic in YMSM."
.@realdonaldtrump just said: "if it were up to the doctors, they'd shut down the entire world." Actually, if it were up to us, we'd save as many people as possible. We would follow the science & evidence. We would never put politics ahead of the public's health #covid19
Cloth-based masks had 13x higher risk of influenza c/w medical masks worn all day- CDC needs to pay attention to evidence-based medicine #bandana#GetMePPE . A cluster randomised trial of cloth masks compared with medical masks in healthcare workers https://t.co/COUjQPViKg
@EricSecemskyMD@KimberlyBlumen1 @ARLetourneau Agreed. Overallreassuring - 5.9 % severe in kids vs. 18.5% in adults. "Furthermore, children without virologic confirmation were more likely to have severe disease than children from whom COVID-19 was detected, potentially because their symptoms were caused by other pathogens"
@aciaranello explains the difficult decisions for WHO, guidelines committees, clinicians and patients as concerns about Dolutegravir in pregnancy were raised. #IDWeek2019
HIV treatment is critical; as it reaches more people we need high-quality systems to monitor birth outcomes. Dr. Rebecca Zash, leading this charge at #HIVped: “a public health approach that maintains gender equity requires pregnancy safety data.” @HarvardCFAR @NICHD_NIH
Key message of #HIVPED: we need new ways to find moms and babies with HIV to #EtHE. Simulation modeling can help identify how to best use limited resources to work toward this goal. Dr. Andrea Ciaranello presenting on behalf of CEPAC Pediatric Team. @aciaranello@mgh_id
