Anyone who attended this year's #CROI2025 will tell you it was a very strange experience given the current political climate. Still, plenty of interesting studies -- here's a Really Rapid Review of selected highlights. #IDSky #HIVSky blogs.jwatch.org/hiv-id-obser...

The list of words the Trump administration has banned from research grants is even longer than the lists I’ve seen online. Here are screenshots of the words confirmed by the NYTimes and listed in this article www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Fascinating poster at #CROI2025 (654) looking at “True Trough” levels of CAB RPV showing “low levels of CAB +/or RPV are associated with higher odds for a detectable HIV-1 RNA.

QU would you measure CAB levels in a patient with low level viraemia?

#CROI2025 And as if by Magic!
Drug levels do matter if you use the right cutoff!

A very elegant study of PK among CAB PReP people with incident infections compared with matched controls

PK/safety of ONCE YEARLY LEN! Potential to address LEN barriers. Two IM formulations (F1/2) assessed in HIV-neg ppl.
Tmax F1 12W, good PK to W56 & higher than Q6M LEN. F2 similar. Both safe/well-tolerated. NO NODULES!!!! Pre-treatment ice reduced injection pain.
This is exciting?!?!??!

STAND UP FOR SCIENCE March 7, 2025. Washington DC and nationwide. Because science is for everyone.

Le 7 mars une grande journée d'action "Stand-up for science" se prépare aux USA: les chercheurs américains lancent une mobilisation pour dénoncer le démantèlement de l’appareil scientifique américain. Il me paraît indispensable de soutenir et de relayer cette action.

NIH ban on renewing senior scientists adds to assaults on its in-house research Policy follows firings of tenure-track scientists and suspension of training programs

Of the 4000 researchers at NIH, only 20% are tenured. They’re going to fire all the rest as their contracts come up for renewal, absolutely decimating research at the NIH. This is catastrophic, not just for Americans, but for the whole world.

Letter from colleague fired from USAID, sharing devastating impact and chaos that this has wrought on her life and family.

From USAID colleague, with permission to share. It's not just chaos it is devastation and tearing apart of families and communities. Not to talk of systems that kept us safe. This is just one story, multiple this by 10,000.
Is this really making America great?

This is just getting worse. All ACIP vaccine recommendations have just been taken down!

This is a massive, politically motivated crackdown and dismantling of basic public health. Vaccines save millions of lives.

This is insane.

The HPV vaccine is safe, effective, and protects against cervical cancer.

It’s #CervicalCancer awareness month!

The #HPV vaccine is highly effective.

It can prevent 9 in 10 cases of the most high-risk strains of human papillomavirus (HPV) – the #1 cause of cervical cancer.

Just Stop Oil protester, 78, has jail term extended after no suitable tag found Exclusive: Gaie Delap told she will have to serve 20 more days that correspond to period of time at home after recall

A violent criminal? A threat to society? A danger to democracy? No, no and no. This is someone being punished again and again for giving a damn about humanity and the living world.

‘It felt very icky’: This scientist’s name was used to write fake peer reviews Elsevier retracts dozens of journal articles that were published based on “fictitious” reviews

Yet another mechanism of cheating in academic publishing. The "public or perish" game is killing science. In our Trumpian world these scientists thrive, but science dies.
This being said, handling editors at STOTEN - not only Malafaia- must give some explanations
