In collaboration with @UKHSA our study on genomic epidemiology #Syphilis is now out @LancetMicrobe shorturl.at/jnvS1 We found evidence for separation of sub-lineages by HIV status & sexual orientation consistent with distinct sexual networks 1/n

📣@TheLancetInfDis: Largest global cohort of #mpox repeat infections & infections after vaccination. While epi similar, infections appear to be less severe with fewer complications.
Amazing collab w/ @profchloeorkin @Jason10033 & @ShareEastLondon team!

Our meta-analysis of #HCV in #PrEP users now available open access in @OFIDJournal. We found lower HCV incidence in contexts where HCV #DAAs have been implemented at-scale - indicative of HCV treatment as prevention among gay and bisexual men.

#PrEP is a powerful tool for #HIV prevention
Still, too many barriers to PrEP exist for too many people. Sometimes, the barriers are medical providers
Improving access to PrEP is critical. Greatly appreciate @juanmichaelii for discussing a few (of the many) ways to ⬇️ barriers

Many states have done a good job of reducing barriers to Hep C treatment; yet only 20% treated within 6 months; 35% overall. Providers must ensure newly get treated. Why don’t they?

2 states still require Medicaid enrollees to have liver scarring before they can be cured of Hepatitis C. Akin to requiring cancer to metastasize before allowing surgery

#PrEP reduces anxiety, increases intimacy and leads to more pleasurable sex, but these values-based outcomes are neglected in PrEP resources. In @TheLancetHIV we argue for better integration of potential user-reported benefits in PrEP training & guidelines authors.elsevier.com/a/1hZac…

👉Isolated cases of pharyngeal gonorrhoea resistant to both ceftriaxone and azithromycin reported in the UK since 2016.
👉these cases are likely to be the tip of the global iceberg detected due to stringent surveillance and treatment protocols in the UK 👏

Although #PrEP use has increased, disparities remain.
To #EndHIVEpidemic, we need to ensure equal access to #HIV prevention and care for everyone.

It is in fact also a #publichealth failure and one that needs to be addressed urgently 📢

Spent today at the Hospital for Dermatology & Venereology in Ho Chi Minh City 🇻🇳 and came across this 50 pack of benzathine #penicillin used to treat #syphilis
Cost: ~$4 USD/dose
Team was shocked to learn a) we're having shortages in US & b) price is 150x higher 🤯
I agree!
