DISASTROUS: all federal #HIV guidelines are scheduled for elimination in June 2026 by @HHSGov OAR. Send comments asap to [email protected]. Federal guidelines (ART, OI, perinatal, etc.) are essential for care providers & for responsible federal spending on HIV. Please share.

Deeply saddened by the passing of Dr @KawangoA84433 of @IRDO. She was a brilliant researcher, a community champion and a mentor to many of us. She was also a Host in the #AVACAdvocacyFellows program. Her loss is monumental. @HIVpxresearch

I’ll pay this book my highest compliment; I didn’t think I was going to be interested in it until I started reading, and was hooked.

I don't often post about books for grown-ups, but my sister-in-law @wunschcritcare's fascinating THE AUTUMN GHOST releases today from @greystonebooks. It's about a silver lining of the #polio epidemic: medical advances that included modern ICUs and ventilators.

[Hannah Wunsch @wunschcritcare]
