The termination of CDC’s HIV prevention program is part of a budget proposal that slashes the overall CDC budget by more than 50% and infectious diseases research at the National Institutes of Health by nearly 40%. Read HIVMA’s full statement here: bit.ly/4mLU0JJ

“Women’s health is under-researched, underfunded and under-represented. Addressing the women’s health research gap is not only an ethical imperative but also a critical step towards more robust science and better health outcomes for all.”

Should secondary SBP prophylaxis (SecSBPPr) still be given in cirrhosis? In 2 🇺🇸national cohorts (>11000 SBP patients), SecSBPPr⬆️the risk of SBP recurrence in multivariable analysis by 63%–68% vs no prophylaxis. And this trend worsened over time. doi.org/10.14309/ajg.0…

Hepatitis B can be passed from parent to baby at birth - and when that happens, the consequences can be deadly. It is unscientific & dangerous to ignore the success of U.S. vaccination programs or argue that the U.S. should not vaccinate babies for hepatitis B at birth.

Gavi has vaccinated over 1 billion children and saved 17 million lives. It helps protect half the world’s most vulnerable. Freezing U.S. funding doesn’t just threaten a program, it literally endangers millions of lives.

This is by far the most common vaccine I strongly recommend in ID adult clinical practice. As ID doctors, we see some truly severe cases of zoster, with post-zoster sequelae that may last months or even rarely be permanent. Clinical Infectious Diseases doi.org/10.1093/cid/ci…

Do you know where the recommendation of adjunctive therapy for E.faecalis IE came from? A case series published in 1954 (with numerous limitations) Time for a well-designed RCT of adjunctive versus monotherapy indeed

⚠️ 1.3 million people acquired HIV in 2024 alone, including thousands of adolescent girls and young women. Today, in a landmark move towards HIV prevention, WHO recommends twice-yearly injectable lenacapavir as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to protect people at risk of HIV.
