Measles doesn’t just make you sick—it can erase your immune system’s memory, leaving you vulnerable to infections like pneumonia and chickenpox for years. This “immune amnesia” has no treatment, but it can be prevented. @cudivofid.bsky.social's Dr. Michelle Barron explains more:

🤒Want to brush up on measles now that we have a case in Colorado? 🎙️Guess we recorded this just in time! @pidsociety.bsky.social @childrenscolo.bsky.social @cupediatrics.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

CU ID's Dr. Michelle Barron explains immune amnesia, a potential years-long consequence of measles. "Even if you survived measles and didn’t end up hospitalized or developing serious complications, you’re now defenseless in terms of other common infections that you might encounter." Read more ⬇️

For decades, HIV was seen as a death sentence. Today, thanks to research & medical advances, people are not just living longer—they’re redefining what it means to age with HIV. Experts & advocates are shaping the future of HIV care. 🌟💙 @cudivofid.bsky.social https://buff.ly/3WXS0CV #MedSky #HIVCare

When HIV first emerged in the early 1980s, there were no treatments and no cure. Death came in months or a few years. Today, HIV is still with us, but almost everything else has changed. My latest story. #cucityofhealth @cudeptofmedicine.bsky.social @cuanschutz.bsky.social
