Brilliant plenary on STI trends at #CROI2026. DoxyPEP implementation in Seattle shows indirect reductions of syphilis rates in cisgender women who are not the target group for the intervention. Shared sexual networks with men who are the target intervention group?

Lenacapavir for PrEP was the big "star" of #CROI2026 after showing almost 100% effectiveness in preventing HIV in 2 large RCTs.
Unfortunately at a pricing point of 28000$ a year it remains inaccessible to most. A drug is only as great as the number of people who can access and benefit from it.

Hello #CROI2026 👋
It's good to be back in Denver, Colorado for the latest in #HIV #Science
Great to see the community of researchers and advocates staying committed to the mission of ending the HIV epidemic even at this challenging time of funding cuts and anti science rhetoric.

A special bond forms between a good PhD advisor and their students. So great running into my former co-advisor Prof Clare Jolly at #CROI2026. We are now friends and colleagues with great mutual respect 10 years later. Treat your mentees well. That's the biggest legacy of any mentor.

#CROI2026 novel antiretrovirals session. Current HIV treatment is very good — better than we ever could have imagined in the early years of AIDS — but new, more convenient options are in the works.

Good news from the PREVENIR trial: Long-term results show on-demand PrEP (PrEP 2-1-1) before & after sex is as effective as daily PrEP for HIV prevention. #CROI2026
News from CROI 2026: French study confirms efficacy of on-demand PrEP #CROI2026
French study confirms efficacy of on-demand PrEP
Eight years after it started, the final results of a large French study that offered a choice of daily or event-driven oral PrEP (using tenofovir disoproxil/emtricitabine) were presented at the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI 2026) in Denver, US yesterday.

Jeanne Marrazzo: “We want a magic pill for women, but no pill can provide the freedom and power that most cisgender men have to pursue the sex they want. Until we consider this power imbalance, the potential for this [doxyPEP] or any intervention will be limited.” #CROI2026

There is still no cure for HIV - although a handful of people have been cured.
My comrades at @aidsmap.bsky.social have collected the top stories on cure research - some promising, some disappointing - from the recent #CROI2026 conference.
