Everyone who is in the medical profession or who has been touched by COVID-19 will hear reflections of their own emotions in the stories told by these 7 speakers. Truly stunning event in #narrativemedicine. @NarrativeMed @NarrativeMedBCM @narrativemed_TU @RitaCharon @The_Intima

It might seem hard to believe, but there was an International AIDS Conference last week, #AIDS2020. Yep.
Here's a Really Rapid Review of some highlights -- what did I miss?

[Douglas S Krakower @douglaskrakower]

@PaulSaxMD Thank you for highlighting our study in your indispensable RRR, Paul! It feels like seeing our picture on the Jumbotron at Fenway. (Which has never happened to me, and not this summer. Sigh.)

[Douglas S Krakower @douglaskrakower]

Excellent summary of important study showing benefits of widespread offering of #PrEP, with support from validated risk prediction model. Scale it up! @LauraBBalzer

[Katy Stephenson, MD, MPH @k_stephensonMD]

We need to enroll Black and Latinx populations at rates that match #COVID19 demographics. So, please share this thread widely and pass on our email address: [email protected]. You can also go directly to our volunteer registry website: https://t.co/04pJA8UG2z 🙏🙏 3/3

@alisapower @drjanenicholls @FenwayHealth Thank you, Lisa!

COVID has disrupted preventative HIV health care
⬇️ in PrEP starts & refills
⬇️ HIV/STI testing
despite a near complete shift to telehealth

needs to further evaluate esp for vulnerable sub populations

Fabulous EPR data 😍 @douglaskrakower @FenwayHealth

@WhitneyCSewell @uche_blackstock @JuliaLMarcus As Whitney knows, I was surprised by 2 kids in full superhero garb during our call today, so I empathize! (Impressed that Justice was so stealthy; totally unnoticed by this guy.) Full disclosure: I secretly love all the kid silliness around these work calls, keeps me on my toes.

The Fenway Institute’s Douglas Krakower Presents on PrEP and COVID During AIDS 2020: Virtual Conference https://t.co/rjSU16pNAS @douglaskrakower

[Douglas S Krakower @douglaskrakower]

We'll need an individualized, non-judgmental approach to #PrEP provision during #COVIDー19 given heterogeneous patterns of sexual behaviors. Need to maintain access to #PrEP and STI testing with innovative health care delivery. @Fenwayhealth @khmayer1 @JuliaLMarcus

[Douglas S Krakower @douglaskrakower]

Opening press conference at #AIDS2020Virtual highlights impact of #COVIDー19 on #PrEP and efforts to #EndHIVEpidemic. We discussed our study showing major disruptions in #PrEP care at @FenwayHealth. Need more data on sexual behaviors and #PrEP access/use during dual pandemics.

[Liz Highleyman @LizHighleyman]

Douglas Krakower (@douglaskrakower @FenwayHealth):
It's important not to stigmatize people who are engaging in sex during #COVID19 so people don't feel ashamed to come forward for preventive sexual health care. #AIDS2020Virtual #AIDS2020 #PrEP @JuliaLMarcus

[Douglas S Krakower @douglaskrakower]

@gkrakower @CNBC No efficacious vaccine yet, but studies are ongoing. However, recent groundbreaking study #HPTN083 demonstrating efficacy of long-acting injectable #PrEP very exciting @HIVptn @HIVpxresearch

[BIDMC @BIDMChealth]

BIDMC staff joined healthcare colleagues all across the country to kneel in silence for 8 minutes and 46 seconds this afternoon in solidarity to raise awareness of racism as a public health issue. #WhiteCoatsforBlackLives
