#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

This is really interesting! We recently showed very similar associations f on genomic and spatial analysis of drug sensitive TB www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

#TBSky highlights from #CROI205 Day 2: Great posters and talks on case finding, some new diagnostics (TB-FERON), and exciting talk about long-acting TB drugs for TB preventive therapy! #IDSky 1. My favorite talk of the day was Brian Allwood's talk on post TB lung disease:

🔥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

#TBSky highlights #CROI2025 Day 1: Neel Gandhi- Universal WGS study in South Africa among people with XDR TB show casual contact (residential proximity or shared clinic) is the epi link for ~50% of clustered participants, close contacts <10%. Comm.-based approaches needed to interrupt transmission
