Hi, @GiffPsych, @LiamWignall and I are recruiting participants for our new research exploring the identity, experiences and health protective strategies of #MSM who self-label as a #cumdump. If you would be interested in participating, please email Matt.Kimberley@bcu.ac.uk.

Probably one last very important post before I migrate 👀 #WorldAidsDay2024 HIV does not kill, stigma does! Please continue to educate, research and inform (and I’ll be doing the same)

Such a pleasure to present my research on the role of identity resilience in predicting PrEP acceptability and self-efficacy! Choice in HIV prevention is meaningless without understanding the drivers behind those choices #HIVR4P2024 @iasociety

East Sussex has become the first place in the UK to offer PrEP, which protects against infection of HIV, through remote services as part of a pilot. NHS sexual health consultant Dr Vanessa Apea tells #R4Today that the pilot aims to 'expand access' to the drug.

Poster 2 of 2 at #AIDS2024 This time presenting a quantitative exploration of psychosocial influences on PrEP acceptability. Great to discuss how we should consider intricacies of identity and resilience when designing messaging to ameliorate PrEP uptake!

Your headline is irresponsible misinformation. Antivirals aren’t “vaccines.” Antivirals inhibit the activity of viral enzymes or structural proteins. Vaccines prime the immune system to recognize and clear pathogens. Do better @guardian theguardian.com/global-devel…

HIV drug could be made for just $40 a year for every patient

Generic version of a drug already on the market, which can suppress and prevent HIV, would still yield 30% profit if the current price was slashed, researchers say
