In our NEW @NEJM publication we found that 1) #Mpox antibody responses after #JYNNEOS vaccination are similar in people with & without #HIV. 2) Antibody #halflife after vaccination was 107 days. 3) No differences in route of 💉 administration! nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

The federal HIV guidelines are facing a shutdown. A trusted, living resource — used by clinicians, programs, and public health agencies for decades — may disappear due to “budget decreases and revised priorities.” Big mistake. blogs.jwatch.org/hiv-id-observa…

The Trump administration is killing almost all NIH-funded HIV vaccine research: cbsnews.com/news/trump-adm… "This is a setback of probably a decade for HIV vaccine research." Many will needlessly get sick & die because of profound cruelty & vindictiveness. by me & @Alexander_Tin

The Trump Administration’s Foreign Aid Review: Status of @PEPFAR kff.org/4a037a4/ HIV testing had been disrupted in 10 countries; there was a risk of ARV stocks outs in 8 & viral load testing stockouts in 13 countries. Oral PrEP medication stock-outs in in 4 countries.

Thanks to Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, more than 1 billion children have been immunized against the world’s deadliest diseases, like tuberculosis and malaria. Now the U.S. government is reportedly planning to end its support for Gavi—support that’s been critical to this progress for nearly 25 years. It breaks my heart to think that more than a million children in low-income countries could die over the next five years because of this decision. It’s no exaggeration to say that the world’s success in immunizing children is one of the greatest achievements in history. It’s also one of the hardest-won. Mothers around the world line up for hours in the heat to get vaccines for their children, women travel through mountains on foot to administer them, and thousands of scientists dedicate their lives to developing them—all because there’s nothing more important than saving the life of a child. Leaders must reconsider the plan to end support for Gavi. Unraveling one of the most effective systems in global health would be an absolutely devastating choice.

The removal of #HIV- and #LGBTQ-related resources from the websites of the @CDCgov and other health agencies is deeply concerning. Access to this information is crucial for ID and HIV health care professionals. Our full statement: bit.ly/3PYun9v

WHO expresses deep concern about the implications of the immediate funding pause for #HIV programmes in low- and middle-income countries. These programmes provide access to life-saving HIV therapy to more than 30 million people worldwide. A funding halt for HIV programmes can put people living with HIV at immediate increased risk of illness and death and undermine efforts to prevent transmission in communities and countries. Such measures, if prolonged, could lead to rises in new infections and deaths, reversing decades of progress and potentially taking the world back to the 1980s and 1990s when millions died of HIV every year globally, including many in the United States of America. For the global community, this could result in significant setbacks to progress in partnerships and investments in scientific advances that have been the cornerstone of good public health programming, including innovative diagnostics, affordable medicines, and community delivery models of HIV care. We call on the Government of the United States of America to enable additional exemptions to ensure the delivery of lifesaving HIV treatment and care. Read more bit.ly/42yxxIz

The immediate halting of funding to #PEPFAR places millions of lives in jeopardy. The IAS urgently calls on policy makers and stakeholders to restore the funding lifeline to this pivotal programme. Lives depend on it, right now. Read our full statement: iasociety.org/ias-statement/…
