The UK AIDS Memorial Quilt is to go on display this June at Tate Modern’s massive Turbine Hall. With treatment nobody should die of AIDS but Trump’s cuts to global aid and to domestic prevention work make it likely millions will die over the next few years. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

BHIVA is very concerned to learn that Gilead has made a decision to close its individual access scheme for #lenacapavir, which in combination with other antiretrovirals, can be lifesaving for a small number of individuals with very limited HIV treatment options. 1/1

Russia has one of the fastest growing HIV epidemics in the world with poor access to treatment even for the diagnosed. Now Russia looks to worsen the situation by halting support from the Elton John AIDS Foundation, due to their support for LGBTQ people. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Horrified but not surprised that Jeanne Marrazzo has been sacked as Director of NIAID. A brilliant scientist & leader, another victim of the vandalism of this regime. A sad day for infectious disease research, particularly on HIV and Long Covid.

Trans rights are #HumanRights! This #TransDayOfVisibility, and every day, we stand firmly by our trans siblings living with or without HIV. We keep fighting alongside trans, non-binary and gender non-conforming people to end all forms of discrimination to tackle #HIV.

it's great! Still work to do though... our advice to support people with cleared hep C, previous or current hep B, and those who struggle to achieve HIV suppression was not included, and we will keep working to get these further changes included 🙏 💪 @bhiva.bsky.social @bashhuk.bsky.social

Always remember even for experienced clinicians, you are never alone and it is important to reach out to not just local but also regional MDTs for advice. Stuart Flanagan’s wise words “the best clinicians always ask for help.” #HIVMasterclass2025 @bashhuk.bsky.social @hivta.bsky.social

This war on our science and is meant to render us incapable of seeing who is most affected by certain diseases, as if to keep things that way. They don’t want us talking about disparities because those disparities keep them in power and kill those not in power #MedSky #IDSky

You can guarantee this every time: Whenever a government tells you that they need to hurt people abroad to help people at home, the next thing that is coming, the very next thing, is they hurt people at home.
