#Londres Visitamos @TheCrick, importante centro de investigación mundial. Conocimos el trabajo de tres científicos, entre ellos dos colombianos, y sus desarrollos aplicados en beneficio de humanidad. Queremos trabajar con el #ReinoUnido para enfrentar los desafíos del siglo XXI

[UCL News @uclnews]

For the second time ever, a person with HIV is now in long-term remission, after a stem cell transplant in London. Prof Ravi Gupta @GuptaR_lab @uclmedsci, who led the clinical research team publishing the case report in @nature today, spoke to @nytimes https://t.co/okqNtQjKNH

[National AIDS Trust @NAT_AIDS_Trust]

This is great news for this individual, however it uses the same science that has existed for ten years. It can't be widely replicated for other patients.
Research for a viable cure is important but so is a focus on making sure all people with HIV can access lifesaving treatment.

[Chad Swanson @Swanson_Chad]

This article is more accurate in its headline than the New York Times article that I previously posted, "cure" is a big word.

A decade after the first person was cured of HIV, a second patient is in long-term remission https://t.co/lj6gQ4QzOH

Thrilled to have been a part of this study - #teamwork @GuptaR_lab @Peppa_Group @LukeMuir91 Watch this space for the paper @nature

"These new findings reaffirm our belief that there exists a proof of concept that HIV is curable." Just announced! HIV-positive man remains in HIV remission off ART for 19 months after bone marrow tranpslant. Our statement on #HIVcure research implications https://t.co/cwoNh94dSa

[Greg Owen @Greg0wen]

A HIV cure story just broke and I’m going to be receiving social media notifications ALL DAY long. As it stands, it’s in one person in a very specific scenario, similar to the Berlin patient. This is not a cure option for population scale. My focus remains on access to treatment.

[Jon Cohen @sciencecohen]

Does Timothy Ray Brown (pictured), the only person cured of HIV, have company now? A new case called the London patient strongly suggests the answer is yes. https://t.co/epxVKNKbMn

[The Lancet HIV @TheLancetHIV]

An important view on the London Patient and the #HIVcure discussions. Perhaps the most important take home message from this is how rare such cases are, even among people having stem-cell transplants. #HIV

[Victoria Derbyshire @VictoriaLIVE]

‘We turned him from someone who was HIV positive to someone with a new bone marrow which was uninfectable.’

Dr Ian Gabriel helped a British man become the second person to be cleared of HIV after receiving a stem cell transplant.

Elizabeth Garrett Anderson was the first woman to qualify as a doctor in Britain, the first woman to receive a medical degree in France, the first female mayor in England and a suffragette.

Things we’re tired of:
Our achievements being overshadowed by a man’s need to feel more important.
The apology after the damage.
The whole ‘having to over-earn our place at the table’ thing.
Having to triple-think writing a tweet like this.

Fantastic news that women with #HIV in Manchester will now get free formula & equipment (as recommended by @NAT_AIDS_Trust @APPGIFI & @BritishHIVAssoc guidelines https://t.co/awdKL7oQBT). Now to see other regions follow suit.
