Living with HIV Information about living with HIV, including treatment options.

Ugh. Looks like some #CDC pages are back, but now with a banner at the top warning any info "on this page promoting gender ideology is extremely inaccurate" and that "this page does not reflect biological reality." Pointless. Takes away from the otherwise great CDC info.

Dairy Workers May Have Passed Bird Flu to Pet Cats, CDC Study Suggests (Gift Article) But the study, whose publication was delayed by a pause in public communications by the agency, leaves key questions unanswered.

The bird flu outlook has only gotten worse It’s clear there’s no reason for optimism that H5N1 will fade away as a minor nuisance. To the contrary, the situation has only been trending worse.

The bird flu outlook has only gotten worse

Signs are pointing to a future flu pandemic, the keys to getting in front of it; a free flow of global data that can provide early warning and boosting the resources for widely testing and analyzing H5N1’s evolution.
