🧵1️⃣Viele französische Medien berichten heute (20.1.25) über den weltweit 8. Fall einer (potenziellen) #HIVHeilung nach Stammzelltransplantation. Der Fall eine Französin, die seit über 25 Jahren mit HIV lebt, wurde bereits Ende 2024 auf der #HIVGlasgow vorgestellt: www.poz.com/article/seco...
“The HIV Glasgow conference made it clear: we know what works to combat H.I.V. stigma. The challenge now is ensuring these solutions are implemented at scale.” James Cole. Senior Policy Manager National AIDS Trust logo. Red Ribbon. Securing rights, stopping H.I.V.
This year’s #HIVGlasgow conference has showcased the resilience, innovation, and determination that define the #HIV community.
Our Senior Policy Manager James Cole shares his impression of an event that reminds us of what is possible when science, advocacy and policy align:

This should hopefully increase awareness in all countries and support resourcing new services.

First post on here so thank you for finding me. I’m probably trying to locate you as well 🤓
Wish I had someone to guide me as happened when I first used twitter. That was at the 2014 #hivglasgow conference. I’m going to start by finding friends from the world of HIV. Suggestions appreciated 🙏🏼
Wow, jede Menge wissenschaftlicher Lesestoff rund um #HIV: Die Abstracts zur Konferenz #HIVGlasgow (@hivglasgow.bsky.social) sind online verfügbar:

That's a wrap! Thank you for being with us in Glasgow this year. We hope to see you again in 2026 to hear more about breakthrough HIV research #HIVGlasgow #HIVGlasgow2024 #HIVGlasgow2026 #HIV #AIDS #conference
For every person initiating PrEP since 2012 there have been 3 new HIV acquisitions. Data from Africa shows that 26 million people need to be on PrEP to avert 250,000 infections.
We need to do so much better!
Great talk from Linda-Gail Bekker #hivglasgow #hivglasgow2024
Our Director @profchloeorkin.bsky.social was honoured to host Her Royal Highness the Princess Royal in her role as Co-Chair of the #HIVGlasgow international conference. They discussed equity issues in the global HIV response and the Mpox outbreaks.
#hivglasgow2024
Hepatitis C rates have dropped among people w HIV in Spain, from 54% in 2002 to 1% in 2021.
Concerns remain bc there is no HCV vaccine (reinfection rates: 4-5%) and “risky” behaviors, which I assume refers to injection drug use and condomless sex.
#HIVGlasgow
Language matters. People living with #HIV are people first above all else.
See @peoplefirstcharter.bsky.social for more.
#HIVGlasgow #HIVGlasgow2024
I’m often told that using people first language is too much to ask of researchers who speak English as a 2nd language.
I counter that some of the best presenters at #HIVGlasgow — w the most appropriate language — speak English as their second language.
In other words, it’s a choice.

Analysis of self reported data (POSITIVE VOICES) indicates that depression/anxiety prevalence has fallen over the decade but this does not negate the importance of this issue. Esp looking at impact of the US presidential election
Among the cohort 35% had a mental health problem.
#MedSky #HIVGlasgow
Important demographic variation in mental health treatment with black African men in particular being less likely to receive treatment. Great talk from Fiona Lampe on Positive Voices 2022.

New EACS guidance on cancer screening at #HIVGlasgow
Screen MSM and TGW>35 and all other men >45
Women >21yrs annually or 3-yearly after three neg PAP smears with CD4 >350 undetectable
Tristan Barber asks how this will be achieved with limited capacity
First ever EACS guidelines on chemsex #HIVGlasgow
Ask:
Do you consume drugs before or during planned sex to facilitate, initiate, prolong, sustain and intensify the encounter?
Do you want to see questionnaire score, risk reduction advice and assess level of concern with use
@bhiva.bsky.social
So EACS has followed DHHS and relegated abacavir to 'alternative' 1st line status. Time for @bhiva.bsky.social to do the same? If you look at consultation comments @tristanjbarber.bsky.social called for this last time round.
BHIVa had already relegated raltegravir mind.

HIV CURE:
Karine Dube asks : do we need to build in an offer of PrEP to partners of participants of ATI ( analytical treatment interruption) studies ?
#HIVGlasgow
@bhiva.bsky.social @tristanjbarber.bsky.social
Fascinating talk on ethics of cure research from Karine Dube & a shout-out for www.peoplefirtcharter.org!
Great talk calling for justice informed cure trials with ATIs & a summary of the updated ATI consensus which you can read more about here: www.santheafrica.org/our-gallery/...
#HIVglasgow
Karine Dube :
Ethics of cure- favourable risk/balance ratio.
Risks: social, financial, psychological or physical
Analytical treatment interruptions affect mental health.
Bear in mind: disappointment or stigma associated with viraemia may occur.
Calls for justice-informed ATI
#HIVGlasgow
I’ve just changed meds and so have decided to give it a couple of months before I start statins, just to reduce the variables in play if there are problems with my new treatment.
It is vital that people with HIV are informed and empowered to fully engage with our treatment options.
