‘Future #PrEP’ talk at #HIVGlasgow2024:

Two #HIV infections in PURPOSE 2 #lenacapavir arm might just be an unlucky meeting with someone who was seroconverting, not multiple risks as assumed:

New #EACS #guidelines presented at #HIVGlasgow include new section on #chemsex:

This should hopefully increase awareness in all countries and support resourcing new services.

Had a wonderful time at #HIVGlasgow2024. But in my haste to get to Barcelona, I left my ART in my hotel—14 tablets of Biktarvy.

My hotel found my meds but unfortunately it is not legal to ship them internationally.

The odd thing: I’m editing an article about lots meds for TheBody right now.

That's a wrap! Thank you for being with us in Glasgow this year. We hope to see you again in 2026 to hear more about breakthrough HIV research #HIVGlasgow #HIVGlasgow2024 #HIVGlasgow2026 #HIV #AIDS #conference

Adios Glasgow. Found community in times of chaos. Soul recharged. Definitely one of my favorite conferences. ❤️ #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

Thank you, @jncherabiemd.bsky.social.

I don’t think there are many other people living w HIV here at #HIVGlasgow2024. Why should there be? This harmful language makes the space unsafe for us.

People w HIV have been demanding people first language for 40+ years. So what are we doing?

The amount of mental gymnastics ppl go through for these “scientific” titles instead of just saying it like it is in a more patient centered way is staggering

Watching the PrEP session at #HIVGlasgow2024 and wondering… is there a future where we get a tiny baby dose of lenacapravir for infants exposed to HIV through BF?

Linda-Gail Bekker notes that many media outlets responded to the PURPOSE 1 & 2 results as confirmation bias that #HIV is over, meaning we can all focus on climate change.

As she says in her #HIVGlasgow2024 Lock Lecture, HIV isn’t over esp in Africa where over 50% HIV transmissions still occur.

Our Director @profchloeorkin.bsky.social was honoured to host Her Royal Highness the Princess Royal in her role as Co-Chair of the #HIVGlasgow international conference. They discussed equity issues in the global HIV response and the Mpox outbreaks.

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

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.

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?

People living w #HIV have higher rates of cancer than general populations.

Jean-Phillipe Spano’s research shows that treatment w immune checkpoint inhibitors have no impact on HIV control nor do they decrease CD4 count.

EACS need to introduce standards to audit against in their guidelines to support implementation. This looks great on paper but how can it work on the ground for countries without access to all the tools? #HIVGlasgow2024
New EACS guidance on cancer screening at #HIVGlasgow

Screen MSM and TGW>35 and all other men >45

Women >21yrs annually or 3-yearly after three neg PAP smears with CD4 >350 undetectable

Tristan Barber asks how this will be achieved with limited capacity
November 13, 2024 at 9:39 AM
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.

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.
