Scientists must learn to join larger pro-democracy and people's movements, coalitions. Our science training may not have prepared us for such work, but we can no longer sit in the safety of our labs and expect the world to get better

#LEN for #PrEP as arrived in Eswatini and Zambia. It's faster access to a new #PrEP product than ever before. But the very low #'s in this 1st delivery, 1,000 doses, point to all the work that still needs to be done. The world needs speed, scale and equity to achieve impact.

Ok. Episode 2 and I can tell I am going to want to share every episode. This one is a case on low level viremia. I love hearing the hosts work through these cases.

#HIVprevention at a crossroads: Speed, scale & equity are possible in getting #lenacapavir for #PrEP to all who need and want it, but the but global systems to deliver new innovations are being dismantled. Dive into the irony: buff.ly/mugtlWt

We can work towards a better world than this.
One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Of course he did.
For the 2nd time in a row, #HHS secretary RFK, Jr., has postponed a meeting of the #USPSTF which preventive health services—such as #PrEP—must be covered by insurers. An HHS spokesperson cited the government shutdown as the cause, blaming Democrats.

A little something for your bullshit meter.
We wrote an article explaining why you shouldn't put several variables into a regression model and report which are statistically significant - even as exploratory research. bmjmedicine.bmj.com/content/4/1/.... How did we do?

Mpox update.

@ecdc.europa.eu raises threat level to moderate due to recent cases of #Clade1b in gay and bisexual men in #Europe:

People living with #HIV who are at risk of #mpox are advised to get two doses of the vaccine to be protected.

Oh oh.
🧵🧵 MPOX
1/9
Three cases of Mpox Clade 1 confirmed in Los Angeles this month, none with recent foreign travel.

That suggests *local spread* is happening.
People here already have it and have transmitted it.

This is concerning - let’s delve in.
(Marathon post ahead!)
A potentially more severe strain of mpox may be spreading in L.A. County
It’s the first time this particular type of mpox, known as “Clade I,” has been found in the United States among people who had no history of traveling overseas to high-risk areas.
