Fantastically useful article and bravo to the authors for collecting and publishing the data - v difficult in conflict zone

[MSF Science @MSFsci]

Critical care in conflict zones is more than just trauma care.

@bacteriollygy @techpriest @Niamh_F_Kielb @lozzlemcfozzle Worth looking at some of the old papers too. All the trials are in the pre-ART era, largely in men and so we arguably overdose on Co-trim now…

Great description of the importance of testing for HIV (and hepatitis b &c) from a fab colleague. Disappointed the tie wasn’t claret & blue though @DocSteveTaylor

[Andy Street @andy4wm]

As part of LGBTQ+ History Month, I spoke with @DocSteveTaylor about the story behind HIV / Aids & other blood borne viruses.

Testing saves lives is the message - it’s loud and clear - not just for HIV but for other blood borne viruses like Hepatitis B & C.

@EllenNewman93 Congratulations! ID is by far the most interesting specialty (I am clearly biased)

Hot off the press (a bit different this time!):
In this article we’ve had a detailed look at what *really* killed The Black Prince in 1376…. The greatest English warrior of his time, who died from disease and not trauma

Say hello to the Birmingham AIDS & HIV Memorial.

Just unveiled today, on #WorldAIDSDay, it’s the biggest of its kind in the UK.

We’re just that proud, bab. ♥️

My recent placement on the tropical and infectious disease unit at W28 heartlands @uhbtrust was incredible.
I felt challenged, my clinical skills improved vastly, all levels worked together whatever the task and they always made me feel part of the team. 1/x

Looks fab Alex - sadly am in ID clinic! But will try to catch some livestream if I can
