Breaking: A paper in @TheLancet finds that not only do people with HIV who are on antiretrovirals and maintain a viral load <200 have zero risk of transmission via sex, but there is a nearly zero chance of transmitting with a viral load <1,000. #IAS2023 #UequalsU 🧵thelancet.com/journals/lance…

Our study explores how care workers and working carers experience guilt at work, and the consequences for their wellbeing. We also link these experiences with the problematic discourse of the 'heroism' of key workers during the Covid-19 pandemic. doi.org/10.1111/gwao.12956

Great paper by @LenaSchnitzler and colleagues on #economicevaluations including (or not) intersectoral costs relating to #STIs.

Pleased to share our review findings on the #intersectoral costs considered in economic evaluations (EEs) relating to #STIs. We identified an urgent need for EEs to be more comprehensive to allow #policy/decision-makers to make better-informed decisions.

Non-European migrants had much higher excess mortality than the native-born.
This mortality gap was particularly large at working ages.
Excess mortality from COVID-19 led to a reversal oIf the migrant mortality advantage.
