An 11yo boy was shot dead by IDF in West Bank, harrowing footage of Beirut buildings toppled, plus ethnic cleansing in north Gaza.
Over at ABC, silence on news app, even under World.
ABC’s X & Instagram for past 36hrs has cat story a mouldy shoe story but nothing on Arab lives

Our open access paper in @LancetRH_WPac explores #syphilis incidence trends in almost 100,000 gay & bi men in Australia.
Syphilis rates among men with HIV and #PrEP users have converged in the era of HIV biomedical prevention, and reinfection remains high. https://t.co/4BlWcVK6Qh

Yesterday was #WorldHepatitisDay & despite effective, affordable cures for HepC, 74,000 people are still living with HepC in Australia.

Without continued investment in programs like NSPs & their expansion into custodial settings, we cannot meet our 2030 HepC elimination targets.

Today I'm going to pat myself on the back, for years it was said Scotland couldn't open a safer injection site due to legal barriers.

I challenged that, opened a site & said "if keeping people safe is illegal arrest me"

Soon Glasgow will open an official site 💜

“Factors associated with experiencing stigma, discrimination, and negative health care treatment among people who inject drugs” by Timothy R Broady et al (2024) via @ijdrugpolicy…what negative experiences have you had while accessing healthcare?

[Dr_Brendan_Quinn @brendanq82]

Agreed - hugely disappointing Melbourne won't get a second safe injecting facility.

[Nico Clark @NicoClark_]

Very disappointing to see the government step away from its commitment to open a second injecting room in the CBD after the report from Ken Lay confirmed “broad support for an injecting room in the city.”

'Journal publishers have one of the highest profit margins of any industry, taking in an estimated $20bn US a year' from universities paying to access the papers they paid academics to write & review (or which academics did on top of paid workloads) 🤷‍♀️
