A wee reminder to all at HIV Glasgow.....treatments fail, people don't. Please don't call people 'treatment failures', they experience treatment failure, Thank you.

Well hi! My 1st ever post....!! I'll be sharing lots of data (& even more opinion) from the HIV Glasgow conference. To my double digit followers.....not sure I'll reach the numbers I had on X but quality counts for more eh?! #hivglasgow #hivglasgow2024

For every person initiating PrEP since 2012 there have been 3 new HIV acquisitions. Data from Africa shows that 26 million people need to be on PrEP to avert 250,000 infections.
We need to do so much better!
Great talk from Linda-Gail Bekker #hivglasgow #hivglasgow2024

Language matters. People living with #HIV are people first above all else.

See @peoplefirstcharter.bsky.social for more.

That said, use of pejorative language needs to stop. It’s redundant, completely avoidable, & exhausting to encounter—esp on a poster.

For instance, “HIV INFECTED” could have been dropped entirely & the title shortened to PEOPLE LIVING WITH ADVANCED HIV DISEASE.

Great introduction by Dr Shahin Lockman at #HIVGlasgow2024 on including pregnant and BF participants in HIV research and the Antiretrovirals in Pregnancy Research Toolkit.

Using the castle analogy, Andrew Hill shows rather crumbly castle cabotegravir. Across studies it is a more fragile drug. What happens to people with a small amount of INSTI resistance? Not much - one case in CARES and we need to collect more!!

A major impediment to testing & treatment for HIV is stigma among health care workers:

Surveys show that 1 in 6 healthcare providers are hesitant to provide care to people w or at risk for HIV

There is a clear link to people being diagnosed as late presenters w HIV & this stigma.

So EACS has followed DHHS and relegated abacavir to 'alternative' 1st line status. Time for @bhiva.bsky.social to do the same? If you look at consultation comments @tristanjbarber.bsky.social called for this last time round.
BHIVa had already relegated raltegravir mind.

Is switch to PI or continued DTG best for people with viraemia on tenofovir-DF/lamivudine/dolutegravir ART? That is the Q that RESOLVE sets out to address.

GESIDA 11920 shows no impact of switch from DTG/3TC to BFTAF at W24 in DBPCT.

Biktarvy better tolerated wrt GI Sx but I wonder if this was sufficiently powered and, if difference was real, why it was not evident at W12 too?

For anyone at HIV Glasgow who, like me, hadn't heard of courtesy stigma, I googled it (you're welcome!): "Courtesy stigma is what happens when the stigma is extended to people who are close to the person who is stigmatised."

Grateful to Karine Dubé for her slide on language justice. It looks a lot like @drlaurajwaters.bsky.social’s

This is more than semantics. It’s about the lives of a heavily stigmatized community.

And it’s entirely possible to use appropriate & accurate language at #HIV conferences.

“Pregnant people are complex populations not vulnerable populations” and should be included in research not excluded or “protected” from it.

YES!
