There are some misconceptions about #HIV vs #LongCOVID or #HIV & #SARSCoV2 infections
HIV & LC differ fundamentally in their underlying causes, modes of transmission & long-term effects on the immune system.

Zombies, jiangshi, draugrs, revenants − monster lore is filled with metaphors for public health
The ways in which zombies are spawned − and contained − reflect a range of public health principles.

Why are most epi/biostats job postings I see for manager/director/senior positions? Do entry-level jobs even exist in our field outside of graduate RA positions? Send help! I am willing to relocate. #episky

In the COVID-19 Omicron surge, #KULeuven combined contact tracing with sequencing.
Only 1/3 of contacts shared the same strain 🤯, so most people misperceived where they got infected.
@thibaut-jonathan.bsky.social and team show how to assess contact tracing accuracy in the future!

I use general population comparators matched to people with the disease under study to make them comparable to the disease group. There's hype about "digital twins" and it looks just like what we've been doing for years, just with more bullsh*t. Or did I miss some nuance here? #episky

Despite highly effective HIV prevention drugs, the South still has the highest infection rates.
Culture and stigma – not access or medicine – drive the AIDS epidemic.

HIV rates are highest in the American South, despite effective treatments – a clash between culture and public health
Over half of new HIV diagnoses in the US are in the South. Black men who have sex with men are hit the hardest; for them, preventing HIV is a matter of trust, identity, family and faith.
