Saving Lives are thrilled to read this #WorldAIDSDay that opt-out testing in Emergency Departments will continue to be funded for years to come. Our Medical Director, @docstevetaylor.bsky.social along with our CEO @danhartland.bsky.social, spoke to BBC News earlier: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Remembering “Prof Charles Boucher” Professor Courtney Fletcher gives the closing lecture at the #AntiviralPK workshop with a fantastic overview of #HIV in sanctuary sites #IDsky #HIVsky

The Global #HepatitisC pandemic is elimination by 2030 possible? What is needed is a single shot Long acting DAA that is affordable and be could be distributed worldwide. What about Nano-Formulations of Glecapravir and Pibrentasvir 🙏🏽 #AntiviralPK #IDsky #HepSky

At the #clinicalPk workshop David Thomas outlines the amazing response to #HepC DAAs in those who receive them. But how do we reach the 80% of people who need them but can’t access them? #IDSky #HepSky

#AntiviralPK looking forward to a packed workshop, always a great meeting. I will try and post some highlights when possible #IDSky #HIVsky #Hepatitissky

In #Amsterdam for the #clinicalPK workshop of #HIV #Hepatitis drugs. Fantastic start to the day with the Liverpool DDI course #IDSky #HIVsky

RIO study Q&A: i-base.info/htb/50971 - What is the #RIOstudy and how does it work? - What are #bNAbs? - What are the results and what do they mean? - Has someone been cured of #HIV? #CROI2025 #BHIVA25 #RIOtrial #HIVsky #ResearchSky #HIVcure #HIVresearch #HIVtreatment riotrial.bsky.social

Fascinating, talk by Andrew Hill #BHIVA25 looking the cost effectiveness of enhanced Test &Treat vs the benefits of expanded PrEP use He suggests the prices of Cabotegravir or Lenacapavir in the UK needs to be around £1000 per person per year to be as effective as enhanced Test &Treat

An early start at #BHIVA25 @bhiva.bsky.social But the vital importance of the voluntary sector for #HIV care. @profygilleece.bsky.social “Community and voluntary input is not a nice to have, it’s a fundamental part of HIV care”

Results from HIV Confident charter - still a lot of stigma and misunderstanding! On a positive note, 80% of HCPs would like more training! @bhiva.bsky.social #BHIVA25

Vaccines save lives. Pass it on.

Volunteers wanted! , Are you a sexually active woman who might benefit from #PrEP ? @profygilleece.bsky.social @profchloeorkin.bsky.social @drlaurajwaters.bsky.social @drrageshri.bsky.social @savinglives.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Thank you to the @rcem.ac.uk for having me to speak at your annual conference. 2 key take home messages 1 The concept of U=U “A person living with HIV with an Undetectable viral load “CANNOT” transmit HIV to their sexual Partners & 2 OPT out BBV testing in the ED works! #MedSky #EMsky #UequalsU

This is so sad- such an unnecessary failure of leadership, integrity & insight on the part of the USA. To think someone from S. Africa has influenced this is a testament to unchecked racism, extremism & corruption of decision makers. Domestic & international legal & ethical contention must follow.

Coinciding with the #GlobalHepatitisSummit #GHS2025 we are calling for anyone living or working with experience in #HBV, anywhere in the world, to fill in this short survey... & please share. #HepSky #LiverSky #MedSky #NoHep @who.int @altcdc.altgov.info @ecdc.europa.eu forms.gle/XUKQd4Z7W1Ef...

Thank you @pippa-matt.bsky.social 👍

It’s been a good first week of #BBV testing in the #EmergencyDepartment & we have already identified several people with a new diagnoses of #HepatitisB and #HepatitisC Saving Lives “One Blood Test at a Time” For the EDs going live next week good luck 🤞🏼 #MedSky #IDSky #HIVSky #HepSky #NoHep

Congratulations @tristanjbarber.bsky.social very well deserved 👏👏👍👍🤕

We have a better setup now, but this was an early ‘success’ video of capturing bacterial chemotaxis in action!🦠💨Shows something important—bacteria are strong swimmers! Despite the flow, Salmonella head straight for the nutrients. Makes sense, gut has a ton of flow! 🧪 #Microbiology #Microsky #idsky

#CROI2025 A Tour de force on integrase PK-PD and resistance by Professor Saye Khoo. 👏🙌🏽 CAB resistance is a Low a Incidence High Consequence scenario Tracer studies indicate variable placement of IM injections Does compartmental penetration matter (probably not) #IDSky #HIVSky

What a week #CROI2025 , Good #Science , Good #Friends and to top it off #AstonVilla are through to the Quarter finals of the #ChampionsLeague Thank you to @avfccalifornia.bsky.social for making me so welcome #UTV #AVFC

. @astonvillaofficial.bsky.social I’m in #Sanfrancisco and heading to the Kazar pub Apparently it’s the home of the Californian #AstonVilla supporters club? To watch #AVFC in the #championsleague #UTV

#CROI2025 And as if by Magic! Drug levels do matter if you use the right cutoff! A very elegant study of PK among CAB PReP people with incident infections compared with matched controls #IDsky #HIVsky @sebpoule.bsky.social @paulsaxmd.bsky.social @profchloeorkin.bsky.social

#CROI2025 Fantastic overview on the pathogenesis of long #COVID by @rutgerwalls.bsky.social 👏👏 Definitely, one to watch on catch up We must #StandUpForScience #IDsky #CovidSky

#CROI2025 A really good synopsis of the #LAPTOP trial by author G Behrens Definitive evidence on the effectiveness of using 2nd Gen Integrase inhibitors in late presenters with CD4 <100 & very high VL >500, Spoiler alert “they work!” Faster suppression, less side effects, same IRIS #IDSky

#CROI2025 Can we afford to use NAT testing for people taking CAB for #PrEP? How many people will we miss? “To detect 1 additional person not picked up by standard rapid tests. You would need to test 5305 people with NAT at a cost of $46K-$450K ! 😱 #idsky #HIVsky @drlaurajwaters.bsky.social

#CROI2025 The eternal problem of what to do with my patient with persistent low level vireamia? Some further evidence suggesting these viruses are defective and not replication competent. #IDsky #HIVsky

🔥Very exciting data presented at #CROI2025 and just published in the Lancet: PK data for once year IM Lenacapavir are higher than twice a year SC Len at 56week and support phase 3 study for PrEP. The public health impact of yearly LEN for prevention would be huge! #IDSky

All at #CROI2025 (and those who are not!!), join @docdelrio.bsky.social @chrisbeyrer.bsky.social and colleagues demanding #PEPFAR funding be fully restored. Sign onto the open letter today: bit.ly/PEPFARLetter Speak out (more), scientists: the foreign aid freeze has put millions of lives at risk 👇

Dvora Joseph Davey: Urine tenofovir test could be used to monitor PrEP adherence. In South African study of pregnant & postpartum women, it's used primarily as a counseling tool to help support adherence. #CROI2025

Two new cases of HIV remission after stem cell transplant for cancer reported at #CROI2025. These have become so routine that they're posters instead of oral presentations. We know an HIV cure is possible -- now we need to use clues from these rare cases to develop widely applicable approaches.

Fascinating poster at #CROI2025 (654) looking at “True Trough” levels of CAB RPV showing “low levels of CAB +/or RPV are associated with higher odds for a detectable HIV-1 RNA. QU would you measure CAB levels in a patient with low level viraemia? #IDSky #HIVSky #PKsky @paulsaxmd.bsky.social

#CROI2025 Generic #HPV vaccinations can be produced for as a little as $2.5 per day. 90% of children could be vaccinated using just 12days of of current global sales 😳. #IDsky #PublichealthSky #STIsky
