Alan Winston #bhiva24
For years it was a mess but now all consensus guidelinesuse a consistent definition of CSF HIV escape
OHMh, and IGNORE pharmacokinetic scoring systems, they are REDUNDANT!
But its not a time to reduce NRTIs.....dual NRTI backbones

Excellent overview of CSF HIV RNA escape from Jonathan Underwood
This is absolutely a session to watch on catch up!!!!!

Link to paper calling for a new approach to defining cognitive impairment in people with HIV with impt recommendations including language! You cannot define as a disease state without context. Great talk from Sam Nightingale 👏

Laura Waters BHIVA Matthew Page ViiV Healthcare Tristan Barber Prof Yvonne Gilleece Angelina Namiba Franki Lander I am honestly humbled and thank you so much for sharing. It is an honour to share my lived experience to bring awareness to bring change to topics that are refered to as taboo. And also to support those that are not strong enough to stand on their own. Thank you❤️

Excellent summary of some of the CROI data on INSTI RAMs globally for a brilliant 'what's new in HIV' talk by Dan Clutterbuck #BHIVA24
There's been a big focus on DTG on resistance but we do also see occasional resistance after 1st line Biktarvy failure too....just much less use

Dan Clutterbuck highlights the HIV i-Base PrEP guidance double dose start for all
Best predictor of PrEP efficacy is PBMC concentrations

Results from a survey by George House Trust Darren Knight - almost 3/4 people with HIV had seen HIV mentioned on the pretreatment consultation form for beauty & cosmetic treatments. Unnecessary & stigmatising!
They've developed accredited online training 👏
