Everyone who is in the medical profession or who has been touched by COVID-19 will hear reflections of their own emotions in the stories told by these 7 speakers. Truly stunning event in #narrativemedicine . Narrative Medicine Narrative MedicineBCM Tulane Narrative Medicine Rita Charon The Intima

Proud of my wife Thalia for bravely telling her story of COVID-19 from the Ether Dome tonight.

It might seem hard to believe, but there was an International AIDS Conference last week, #AIDS2020 . Yep.
Here's a Really Rapid Review of some highlights -- what did I miss?

Excellent summary of important study showing benefits of widespread offering of #PrEP , with support from validated risk prediction model. Scale it up! Laura B. Balzer

We need to enroll Black and Latinx populations at rates that match #COVID19 demographics. So, please share this thread widely and pass on our email address: [email protected]. You can also go directly to our volunteer registry website: cvvr.hms.harvard.edu/clinical-resea… 🙏🙏 3/3

COVID has disrupted preventative HIV health care
⬇️ in PrEP starts & refills
⬇️ HIV/STI testing
despite a near complete shift to telehealth

needs to further evaluate esp for vulnerable sub populations

Fabulous EPR data 😍 Douglas S Krakower Fenway Health

The Fenway Institute’s Douglas Krakower Presents on PrEP and COVID During AIDS 2020: Virtual Conference fenwayhealth.org/the-fenway-ins… Douglas S Krakower

#AIDS2020Virtual begins.

We'll need an individualized, non-judgmental approach to #PrEP provision during #COVIDー19 given heterogeneous patterns of sexual behaviors. Need to maintain access to #PrEP and STI testing with innovative health care delivery. @Fenwayhealth Ken Mayer Julia Marcus, PhD, MPH

Opening press conference at #AIDS2020Virtual highlights impact of #COVIDー19 on #PrEP and efforts to #EndHIVEpidemic . We discussed our study showing major disruptions in #PrEP care at Fenway Health. Need more data on sexual behaviors and #PrEP access/use during dual pandemics.

BIDMC staff joined healthcare colleagues all across the country to kneel in silence for 8 minutes and 46 seconds this afternoon in solidarity to raise awareness of racism as a public health issue. #WhiteCoatsforBlackLives

I am donating to NMAC now to support justice and equity. Ace Robinson (he/él/il/ele) #EndTheEpidemic

Congrats to HPTN 083 protocol chair Dr. Raphael Landovitz and the entire study team for showing long-acting injectable cabotegravir lowered #HIV incidence among cisgender men and TGW who have sex with men. bit.ly/2zNmlMO #HPTN083 #PrEP #GivePrepAShot #HIV Prevention

Curious how #AI and machine learning are being used for #HIV prevention? Check out our new review! Main application to date is the use of #ML to identify potential #PrEP candidates. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Thanks to Douglas S Krakower and Laura B. Balzer for collaborating on this!

In this environment where there is little PPE available I have found a supplier that has plenty of PPE available in China but due to trade policies enacted by this Administration they are prohibited from exporting to the US. Can we try to get The White House to change that?

Please all, social distancing is essential! #savenana #savebubbe #savenani #savewaipo #saveabuela @hivma Carlos del Rio @gregggonsalves

Of those with very high predicted HIV risk, we saw substantial disparities in #PrEP use by age, sex, race, and SES. Bottom line: 1) HIV prediction models can help track PrEP implementation, and 2) we need strategies to reduce inequities in PrEP use even in insured settings. /end

On behalf of Whitney Sewell, who's home with her newborn, I'm virtually standing by our poster on non-daily #PrEP use among nearly 10,000 adults (mainly MSM) in the U.S. I'll walk you through the main results here and welcome questions! More to come in @journalaids. #CROI2020 1/

Outstanding work on need to engage and support #providers in #PrEP . We need to transform the way we train and support #providers in sexual and substance use health care, from schools training MD, DO, PA, NP, RN, PharmD and more, through residency and beyond.
