@MarissaRothkopf @patriottakes @JohnFrater5 Part of me wonders if this is the ultimate performance art. But, people voted for her. So, there are people whole genuinely believe it.

@MarissaRothkopf Stan says Hi!

@MarissaRothkopf Wow @MarissaRothkopf ! UK guidance on using condoms is not because monkeypox has proven to be sexually transmitted - it hasn’t - but is precautionary until we know one way or the other. And, no jumping viruses involved!!

@RIOtrial The ‘buffy’ layer is nothing to do with vampires!!

Lots of blood are being taken. It gets spun down to many layers, but the one we're most interested is the buffy coat where all the lymphocytes containing HIV reservoir are contained.

@JohnFrater5 explains what happens to the blood samples generously donated by the participants and the laboratory tests that are undertaken #RIOtrial

The brilliant and indefatigable Ming Lee @jnim87 telling participants about his study in @RIOtrial taking gut biopsies to study the HIV reservoir- thanks to all the amazing people who take part in this study, which is one of the first in the world to do this!

The inaugural RIO participant feedback meeting is about to begin. A chance for participants, friends, partners and staff to share experiences and what's ahead in this exciting study! #RIOtrial

Whoop! Whoop! Stan has made it onto the RIO study team! @RIOtrial @ukcherub

The @RIOtrial is one of the very first testing amazing new ‘broadly neutralising antibody therapy’ in people living with HIV. Thank you to our amazing participants who give up so much time, dedication and blood samples!! Research would be impossible without you.
