Prophylaxis Against Pneumocystis jirovecii Pneumonia in Adults
This JAMA Insights Clinical Update discusses current recommendations regarding prevention of Pneumocystis pneumonia in patients who are immunocompromised.
ID rule of thumb is to prophylax against PJP when high-dose steroids are used (i.e. 20mg or more of prednisone daily) for 4 or more weeks. Prophylactic regimens and other indications for prophylaxis are reviewed nicely in the linked JAMA article.

Post-COVID recovery is faster after an infection with the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant: a population-based cohort study
Something was just different about Omicron. While many participants still experienced symptoms after their acute COVID-19, recovery was faster than with earlier variants. Disappointingly, prior vaccination did not impact recovery time.

Scienceโs 2024 Breakthrough of the Year is lenacapavir, an injectable drug that demonstrated remarkable success at preventing HIV infection with one shot every 6 months. The drug attaches to the lattice-like capsid proteins that shield the virusโs genetic materialโa mechanism that could inspire other antivirals. Lenacapavir could help end the HIV/AIDS epidemic, but that will hinge on access for those who need it most.

Does the world still need an HIV vaccine? Experts say yes
Fifteen years ago, an HIV vaccine trial conducted in Thailand and sponsored by the U.S. Army found something no other HIV vaccine trial ever had: a regimen that seemed to work.
Long-acting injectables are poised to change the landscape of HIV prevention, allowing people to go months in between doses of PrEP. In the era of lenacapavir and cabotegravir, does the world still need an HIV vaccine? I asked around and got one answer. #HIVSky #IDSky
