@AhmadRehanKhan They specifically mentioned McKeesport

[Tarfa Verinumbe MD, MPH @TarfaIV]

@AhmadRehanKhan This is quite interesting and just shows the ripple effects of policies. I was recently working on a paper and cited this study about the effects on deindustralization on physiological distress and substance use. Here is the link

Check out my recent research on PWID in Baltimore. Grateful to my mentors at @JHMed_ID @HopkinsMedicine and @JohnsHopkinsSPH #ID#PWID#PrEP

[Drug and Alcohol Dependence Reports @DrugAlcReports]

In Baltimore, 30% of #PWID eligible for #PrEP perceived their HIV risk as lower than average. Those with only injection risks were 2.75x more likely to perceive lower HIV risk. Tailored messaging on drug use risk could improve PrEP uptake. From @TarfaIV: https://t.co/HNQvAItG9I

Huge news in #transplant medicine from @CMDurandMD and colleagues: @NIH funded study published in @NEJM finds kidney transplantation from donors with #HIV to recipients with HIV to be as safe and effective as kidney transplantation from donors without HIV.

@_AlvinChristian This reviewer didn’t even want “is associated” 😂😂

[Tarfa Verinumbe MD, MPH @TarfaIV]

As a person that loves data analysis I can’t tell you how much I hate systematic reviews. 🤦🏾‍♂️

[Tarfa Verinumbe MD, MPH @TarfaIV]

@AATarfa_ Haha soon. Once its available online

[Tarfa Verinumbe MD, MPH @TarfaIV]

This paper is finally off my hands!!! One year of blood and sweat put into this.

[Tarfa Verinumbe MD, MPH @TarfaIV]

@jasonryanmd @olin_val Lmao! I see what you did there @jasonryanmd 😂

[Tarfa Verinumbe MD, MPH @TarfaIV]

@JoharAbbasMD You will continue writing 7-9 hour exams almost every year for the next 3-6 years when you get into residency and fellowship 😂

[Tarfa Verinumbe MD, MPH @TarfaIV]

@luinmedicine Haha! Gotta be careful about the research we consume.

[Tarfa Verinumbe MD, MPH @TarfaIV]

A lot of journals (even the top ones) have difficulty finding expert reviewers. Thus I am naturally wary of journals dat publish a paper 4-5 wks after an initial submission? No one is out there available with abundance of time to review your paper immediately after u submit it.

@KabirOlaAli Say “Downtown Chicago” is beautiful

[Tarfa Verinumbe MD, MPH @TarfaIV]

[Tarfa Verinumbe MD, MPH @TarfaIV]

Excited to have my paper featured as the article of the week on @JohnsHopkinsDOM Medicine Matters Blog. Thanks to my coauthors at the @JohnsHopkinsSPH @JHMed_ID and @Hopkins_GIM for their support.
